*Ineligible for postseason play due to NCAA sanctions

The 2013 tournament was the last to feature participation from Memphis, Houston, and SMU, as the three schools joined the American Athletic Conference on July 1, 2013. The winner of the tournament will receive the conference's automatic bid to the 2013 NCAA tournament. UCF would also have been participating in the tournament for the last time, but was banned due to sanctions handed down by the NCAA in August 2012.[3]
