The 1999–2000 Tulsa Golden Hurricane men's basketball team represented the University of Tulsa as a member of the Western Athletic Conference in the 1999–2000 college basketball season. The Golden Hurricane played their home games at the Reynolds Center. Led by head coach Bill Self, they finished the season 32–5 overall and 12–2 in conference play to finish atop the WAC standings. After losing in the championship game of the 2000 WAC men's basketball tournament, the team defeated UNLV, #7 Cincinnati, and #23 Miami (FL) to reach the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament, before falling to North Carolina in the South Regional Final. It was the third and final season under Self as coach, as he left for Illinois after the season concluded.
