The 2014–15 William & Mary Tribe men's basketball team represented the College of William & Mary during the 2014–15 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Tribe were led by twelfth year head coach Tony Shaver. The team played its home games at Kaplan Arena and were members of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA). This was the 110th season of the collegiate basketball program at William & Mary. They finished the season 20–13, 12–6 in CAA play to finish in a four way tie for the CAA regular season championship. They advanced to the championship game of the CAA tournament where they lost to Northeastern. As a regular season champion, and #1 seed in their conference tournament, they received an automatic bid to the National Invitation Tournament where they lost in the first round to Tulsa.

Previous season

The team will look to improve upon their 20–12 (10–6 CAA) record from the 2013–14 season that saw the team fall just short of a conference championship in a 75–74 loss to Delaware in the championship game of the 2014 CAA men's basketball tournament. William & Mary will look to earn their first postseason bid since 2010.
