Rankings from AP Poll

The 2012–13 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's basketball team represented Southern Illinois University Edwardsville during the 2012–13 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Cougars, led by sixth-year head coach Lennox Forrester, played their home games at the Vadalabene Center and were members of the West Division of the Ohio Valley Conference.[1]

Preseason

[edit]

Ten players returned from the 10–17 team of 2011–12, and two transfers were newly eligible.[2]

The OVC's pre-season coaches' poll picked SIUE to finish fourth in the West Division. Senior Mark Yelovich was selected to the pre-season All-OVC team.[3]

Season

[edit]

During the season, crucial team members Reggie Reed, Maurice Wiltz, and Mark Yelovich suffered injuries, and late in the season, leading scorer Jerome Jones was suspended for the duration. As a result, the Cougars foundered, ending the season 9–18 and 5–11 in OVC play to finish in a tie for fourth place in the West Division. They failed to qualify for the Ohio Valley Conference tournament.[1]
