Season headlines
- October 29 – The AP preseason All-American team was named. Indiana's Cody Zeller was the leading vote-getter, garnering 64 of 65 possible votes. Joining Zeller were Creighton forward Doug McDermott (62 votes), Murray State guard Isaiah Canaan (43), Ohio State forward Deshaun Thomas (26), Michigan guard Trey Burke (16) and Lehigh guard C. J. McCollum (16). Burke and McCollum tied in the voting, creating a sixth spot on the team.[1]
Milestones and records
Conference membership changes
The 2012–13 season saw the second wave of membership changes resulting from a major realignment of NCAA Division I conferences. The cycle began in 2010 with the Big Ten and the then-Pac-10 publicly announcing their intentions to expand. The fallout from these conferences' moves later affected a majority of D-I conferences.
In addition, two schools are moving from Division II starting this season. These schools will be ineligible for NCAA-sponsored postseason play until completing their D-I transitions in 2016. Finally, one school that had announced a transition to Division II, New Orleans, announced that it would halt its transition and remain in Division I.
New arenas
- Coastal Carolina will leave behind one of the smallest venues in Division I basketball, Kimbel Arena (seating little over 1,000). The Chanticleers will remain on campus at the new HTC Center.
- Nebraska–Omaha will make its Division I debut in the new Ralston Arena, an off-campus venue in Ralston, a suburb of Omaha. The team's former on-campus home, Lee & Helene Sapp Fieldhouse, will continue to be used by the UNO women's team.
- Troy will leave its on-campus home since 1962, the original Trojan Arena, for a new on-campus venue tentatively named Trojan Arena.
Major rule changes
Beginning in 2012–13, the following rules change was implemented:
- College coaches are allowed to practice with players a maximum two hours per week during the Summer (May-August) as long as the student-athletes were enrolled in classes.[2]
- Coaches could work their teams for a maximum of two hours a week beginning September 15 until official practice begins on October 13.[3]
- There is now unlimited contact, including text messaging, allowed between college coaches and a prospective player in high school and junior college recruiting.[4]

Conference winners and tournaments
Thirty athletic conferences each end their regular seasons with a single-elimination tournament. The teams in each conference that win their regular season title are given the number one seed in each tournament. The winners of these tournaments receive automatic invitations to the 2013 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. The Ivy League does not have a conference tournament, instead giving their automatic invitation to their regular-season champion. As of 2013, the Great West Conference does not have an automatic bid to the NCAA Men or Women's College Tournament but the men's tourney champion does receive an automatic bid to the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament

New coach |
Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Connecticut | Jim Calhoun | Kevin Ollie | Calhoun retired on September 13. He won 873 games in 40 years as a head coach, first at Northeastern and the last 26 years at UConn, where he put four teams in the Final Four, winning national titles in 1999, 2004 and 2011.[7] | |
| Texas Tech | Billy Gillispie | Chris Walker | The Red Raiders were 8-23 overall, 1-17 in the Big 12, in Gillispie's lone season as successor to Pat Knight. Gillispie's tenure in Lubbock began to unravel last month when CBSSports.com and ESPN.com, citing several former players, reported the coach regularly violated NCAA practice-time rules and mistreated players to the point of causing injury[8] | |
| UMBC | Randy Monroe | Aki Thomas | Monroe resigned as head men’s basketball coach on October 10. He led UMBC to its lone America East Conference title and NCAA Tournament appearance in the 2007-08 season. Monroe directed the third-most games (245) of any head coach in UMBC men’s basketball history and finished with a career mark of 85-160.[9] |
