The 1974 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament involved 25 schools playing in single-elimination play to determine the national champion of men's NCAA Division I college basketball. It began on March 9, 1974, and ended with the championship game on March 25 in Greensboro, North Carolina. A total of 29 games were played, including a third place game in each region and a national third place game.

North Carolina State, coached by Norm Sloan, won the national title with a 76-64 victory in the final game over Marquette, coached by Al McGuire. This result ended UCLA's record streak of seven consecutive titles. David Thompson of North Carolina State was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player.

This was the final year that only conference champions could participate in the tournament. During the same time in 1974, the Collegiate Commissioners' Association held a tournament in St. Louis, Missouri. They invited the second-place teams from eight conferences to participate. In 1975, the NCAA would expand the field to include at-large bids.

Tournament notes

The 1974 ACC tournament final pitted arguably the two best teams in the country in NC State and Maryland. [Bill Free - [http://umterps.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/022199aab.html This Overtime Lasts 25 Years] The 1974 team left it all out on the floor. Baltimore Sun, hosted at University of Maryland Terrapins athletic site, February 20, 1999] This would be cited as a reason to expand the tournament for the next year. The UCLA - North Carolina State semi final game made USA Today's list of the greatest NCAA tournament games of all time at #13.
