Gonzaga, which entered the tournament as the top-ranked team in both major polls, claimed the school's 12th tournament title overall and 10th under current head coach Mark Few.
Format
For the second consecutive year the tournament featured a 9-team single elimination format. The 1 and 2 seeds received a bye to the semifinals while the 3 and 4 seeds received a bye to the quarterfinals. The tournament began on Wednesday, March 6 with an 8/9 game. The second round took place on Thursday, March 7. Both the first and second rounds were shown by BYUtv Sports. The tournament quarterfinals were held on Friday, March 8, and were broadcast on ESPNU. The conference semifinals were held on Saturday, March 9, and aired on ESPN2. The championship game was played on Monday, March 11, 2013, and was broadcast on television by ESPN and on national radio by Dial Global Sports.
