The 1999–2000 NCAA Division I men's basketball season began on November 11, 1999 with the Coaches Vs. Cancer Classic, progressed through the regular season and conference tournaments, and concluded with the 2000 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament Championship Game on April 3, 2000 at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Regular season [edit]
Conference winners and tournaments [edit]
29 conference seasons concluded with a single-elimination tournament, with only the Ivy League or the Pac-10 choosing not to conduct conference tournaments. Conference tournament winners generally received an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Mountain West Conference began operation in 1999-00 and their tournament winner did not receive an automatic bid (although UNLV, winners of the inaugural MWC tournament, did receive an at-large bid).
