Wednesday–Saturday, March 12–15, 2014

The top four seeds received a first-round bye.

In a matchup of the two best teams in the Pac-12, UCLA upset No. 4 Arizona 75–71 to win the conference tournament final. The Bruins' Jordan Adams made a three-point field goal that broke a tie with 45 seconds remaining. Teammate Kyle Anderson had 21 points, 15 rebounds and five assists, and was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player.

UCLA twice led by 11 in the first half, including 12–0 spurt at the start of the game that put them ahead 14–3. It temporarily quieted Arizona fans, who made up an overwhelming majority of the crowd. The Wildcats used a 12–2 run to cut the Bruins lead to 43–40 at halftime. UCLA exceeded Utah's 39 points from their entire second-round game against Arizona, and matched Colorado's game total of 43 against the Wildcats in the semifinals. One the nation's top defenses, Arizona allowed the Bruins to shoot 58.1 percent, making 18 of 31 from the field. The Wildcats defense tightened in the second half, when the game saw seven ties and eight lead changes. Arizona took their second lead of the game with less than 16 minutes remaining in the game—they first led 3–2 early. Arizona's Nick Johnson, the Pac-12 Player of the Year, scored 14 of his 22 in the second half. However, Anderson countered with 10 points and nine rebounds in the half.
