Rankings from AP Poll

The 2013 SWAC men's basketball tournament took place March 12–16, 2013[1] at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas. The tournament champion, Southern University, received the Southwestern Athletic Conference's automatic bid to the 2013 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship.

Format

Seven teams participated in the 2013 tournament. Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Mississippi Valley State each received one-year postseason bans in men's basketball, and thus were not allowed to participate in the 2013 SWAC Tournament, due to failing to meet the NCAA's APR requirements.[2] Texas Southern was serving a two-year postseason ban, after the NCAA Division I Infractions Committee said it found a lack of institutional control and outlined problems spanning 13 sports over a seven-year period.[3]
