Qualifying teams
Automatic bids (42)
The following 42 teams were automatic qualifiers for the 2014 NCAA field by virtue of winning their conference's automatic bid (except for the UAA, whose regular-season champion received the automatic bid).[2]
At-large bids (20)
The following 20 teams were awarded qualification for the 2014 NCAA field by the NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Committee.[2] The committee evaluated teams on the basis of their win-loss percentage, strength of schedule, head-to-head results, results against common opponents, and results against teams included in the NCAA's final regional rankings. By rule, one bid is reserved for teams in Pool B if there are enough teams that qualify for it. Pool B is for teams that are either independents or whose conference does not yet qualify for an automatic bid.
