The 1913–14 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team (variously "North Carolina", "Carolina" or "Tar Heels") was the fourth varsity college basketball team to represent the University of North Carolina.[N 1]

Roster and schedule

Practice for the upcoming season, along with try-outs, was scheduled to start in November.[2] Meb Long was announced as captain for the team.[2] The Tar Heel reported that practices typically last around two hours, including time for dressing and showering.[2] Long put together a preliminary schedule that was published by The Tar Heel on December 11.[3] The schedule included fourteen games, three of which were to happen before the new year.[3][4] The schedule included a game in Raleigh against University of Georgia, Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College and Polytechnic Institute (V.P.I.), and the University of Virginia, among others.[3][4] In advance of the first game, the team was practicing every day.[3] A writer for The Tar Heel that the talent for the upcoming season was the best there had been since basketball started in 1910–11.[3] Coach Nathaniel Cartmell felt that the team would "clean up everybody" the team faced.[3]
