The 2013–14 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team represented the University of Michigan during the 2013–14 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team played its home games in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for the 47th consecutive year at the Crisler Center, with a capacity of 12,707. It was nicknamed "Team 98"{{cite web|url=http://michigan.scout.com/2/1330601.html|title=Beilein says McGary 'limited in practice'|access-date=October 21, 2013|date=September 27, 2013|publisher=Scout.com|author=Bogenschutz, Kyle|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131022014427/http://michigan.scout.com/2/1330601.html|archive-date=October 22, 2013|df=mdy-all}} in reference to that it was the program's 98th season overall and its 97th consecutive year as a member of the Big Ten Conference. The team was led by seventh-year head coach John Beilein. The team won the 2013–14 Big Ten Conference regular-season championship, for the 14th time in program history and the eighth time outright. It was Beilein's fourth conference championship and his second at Michigan.

Although the 2012–13 team graduated five seniors and had two underclassmen (Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr.) who were first-round draft choices in the 2013 NBA draft from the 2013 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament national runner-up team, three of the five national runner-up team starters (Mitch McGary, Glenn Robinson III and Nik Stauskas) were returning. The entering class included a pair of state Boys Basketball Gatorade Players of the Year in Indiana Mr. Basketball Zak Irvin and Derrick Walton, runner-up Mr. Basketball of Michigan, three scholarship players and four walk-ons. The team was a top-10 preseason selection, according to the vast majority of preseason rankings, and many media outlets selected McGary as a preseason All-American. Plagued with back problems during the season, McGary played in eight of the team's first eleven games before opting for season-ending surgery.

During the conference portion of the schedule Michigan won its first eight games, including a stretch of three games in which it defeated top-ten opponents in consecutive games (which no Division I team accomplished since the 2006–07 NCAA Division I men's basketball season). Michigan won at Wisconsin for the first time since 1999 and at Ohio State for the first time since 2003. The team defeated the same ranked opponent (Michigan State) twice in the same season for the first time in thirteen years.

The Wolverines were led by 2014 Consensus All-American and Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year Stauskas, a unanimous first-team All-B1G selection. Caris LeVert (B1G 2nd team), Robinson (B1G honorable mention) and Walton (B1G All-Freshman) also earned conference honors, and Beilein was named Coach of the Year by the B1G media.

Talks about the 2014 NBA draft began awkwardly when Paul Stauskas told Sports Illustrated about his son, Nik: "He knows all he has to do is keep his nose to the grindstone for another couple of months, and there's a really good possibility he might be able to go pro."{{cite web|url=http://college-basketball.si.com/2014/01/20/nik-stauskas-michigan-wolverines-big-ten-mitch-mcgary/|title=Nik Stauskas pushes post-McGary Michigan into Big Ten contention|access-date=March 31, 2014|date=January 20, 2014|work=Sports Illustrated|author=Hamilton, Brian}} Several days later Stauskas tried to distance himself from his father's statement, apologizing to his fans.{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/10338646/nik-stauskas-michigan-wolverines-sorry-father-comments-nba-draft|title=Nik Stauskas apologizes for draft talk|access-date=March 31, 2014|date=January 23, 2014|publisher=ESPN}} After the season Stauskas, Robinson and McGary said that they were considering entering the draft, but had not made a decision.{{cite web|url=http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2014/03/mitch_mcgary_nik_stauskas_glen.html|title=Nik Stauskas, Mitch McGary, Glenn Robinson III not sure about future, will discuss NBA possibilities soon|access-date=March 31, 2014|date=March 30, 2014|publisher=MLive.com|author=Baumgardner, Nick}} Each submitted evaluation requests to the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee, which was required to respond by April 14 (giving the players until April 27 to declare their eligibility).{{cite web|url=http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2014/04/mitch_mcgary_glenn_robinson_ii_4.html|title=Mitch McGary, Glenn Robinson III, Nik Stauskas all file for NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee evaluations|access-date=April 10, 2014|date=April 9, 2014|publisher=MLive.com|author=Quinn, Brendan F.}} On April 10 it was reported that Stauskas had decided to turn pro, but he denied he had made a decision.{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nba/draft2014/story/_/id/10760537/nik-stauskas-michigan-wolverines-enter-nba-draft-per-source|title=Source: Nik Stauskas to go pro|access-date=April 10, 2014|date=April 10, 2014|publisher=ESPN|author=Goodman, Jeff}} The reports were based on rumors that Stauskas had decided to hire Mark Bartelstein (father of former Michigan teammate Josh Bartelstein and agent for former teammate Tim Hardaway Jr.) as his agent.{{cite web|url=http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/04/10/nik-stauskas-denies-report-hes-going-to-enter-the-draft/|title=Nik Stauskas denies report he's going to enter the draft|access-date=April 10, 2014|date=April 10, 2014|publisher=NBC Sports|author=Dauster, Rob}} In an April 15 joint press conference on the Big Ten Network,{{cite web|url=http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2014/04/big_ten_network_to_broadcast_n.html|title=Big Ten Network to broadcast Nik Stauskas, Glenn Robinson III press conference live at 3:30|access-date=April 15, 2014|date=April 15, 2014|publisher=MLive.com|author=Quinn, Brendan F.}} Robinson and Stauskas announced that they were declaring their eligibility for the NBA draft.{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nba/draft2014/story/_/id/10786809/michigan-wolverines-losing-nik-stauskas-glen-robinson-iii-nba-draft|title=Robinson, Stauskas leaving Michigan|access-date=April 25, 2014|date=April 15, 2014|publisher=ESPN}} When he learned that he had tested positive for marijuana after the Sweet Sixteen victory over Tennessee and was facing a one-year suspension, McGary also entered the draft.{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nba/draft2014/story/_/id/10837290/sophomore-mitch-mcgary-michigan-wolverines-opts-nba-draft-failing-drug-test|title=Mitch McGary declares for draft|access-date=April 25, 2014|date=April 25, 2014|publisher=ESPN|author=Goodman, Jeff}}

=NBA draft selections=

With Burke and Hardaway's 2013 selection, by the end of the 2014 NBA draft every player who started in the 2013 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship Game was drafted by the NBA in 2013 or 2014.{{cite web|url=http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2014/06/glenn_robinson_iii_drafted.html|title=Glenn Robinson III slips to second round of NBA draft, selected 40th overall by Minnesota Timberwolves|access-date=June 26, 2014|date=June 26, 2014|publisher=MLive.com|author=Quinn, Brendan F.}} The three 2014 selections (Stauskas, McGary and Robinson) contributed to one of the best Big Ten draft classes in some time; of the seven athletes selected, five were first-round picks. That was the most first-rounders since 1990 and the most overall since 2000, when eight players were selected.{{cite web|url=http://www.bigten.org/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/062714aaa.html|title=Seven Big Ten Student-Athletes Selected in Annual NBA Draft: Five conference players chosen in first round for first time since 1990|access-date=June 27, 2014|date=June 27, 2014|publisher=CBS Interactive|website=BigTen.org|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141016214640/http://www.bigten.org/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/062714aaa.html|archive-date=October 16, 2014|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}{{cite web|url=https://www.basketball-reference.com/draft/NBA_2014.html|title=2014 NBA Draft|publisher=Basketball-reference.com|access-date=June 27, 2014}}
