In 2014, the Longhorns finished the season 5th in the Big 12 with a record of 46–21, 13–11 in conference play. They qualified for the 2014 Big 12 Conference baseball tournament, and were eliminated in the semifinals. They qualified for the 2014 NCAA Division I baseball tournament, and were placed in the Houston Regional, along with host Rice, former conference rival Texas A&M, and George Mason. In their first game, the Longhorns defeated Texas A&M by a score of 8–1, and then defeated Rice, 3–2, in 11 innings. In the regional final, the Longhorns again matched up with Texas A&M, and dropped game one to the Aggies, 2–3. However, they rebounded to win game two by a score of 4–1, and advanced to the Super Regional, of which they were selected as hosts.
