Rankings from AP Poll

The 2012–13 Mid-American Conference men's basketball season is the 67th college basketball season in the conference's existence. The conference features 12 teams in two divisions, East and West, who competed for the Mid-American Conference (MAC) regular season and tournament titles. Akron and Ohio shared the regular season title with 14-2 records in conference play. Akron won both games with Ohio but lost two late season games. Akron was the top-seed in the tournament and defeated Ohio in the final. D. J. Cooper of Ohio was voted as the MAC player of the year.

Pre-season

[edit]

Media voting

[edit]

On October 29, the members of the MAC News Media Panel voted in the Preseason Media Poll. They voted Ohio as the favorite in the MAC East Division and Toledo in the MAC West Division.[1]

East Division
Place Team 1st Points
1 Ohio Bobcats 19 141 points
2 Akron Zips 5 122 points
3 Kent State Golden Flashes - 89 points
4 Buffalo Bulls – 53 points
5 Bowling Green Falcons - 54 points
6 Miami RedHawks – 31 points
West Division
Place Team 1st Points
1 Toledo Rockets 20 143 points
2 Eastern Michigan Eagles 4 118 points
3 Western Michigan Broncos - 88 points
4 Ball State Cardinals 4 74 points
5 Northern Illinois Huskies - 46 points
6 Central Michigan Chippewas – 35 points

The media also took a vote on who they think would win the MAC tournament at the end of the season. Unlike the preseason votes, the media would only select the winner of the tournament, and not the placement of the teams afterwards. Ohio received the most votes with 18, followed by Akron with six votes.
