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 will compete for the Mid-American Conference (MAC) regular season and tournament titles.

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.

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.

*All Times Eastern

The 2013 MAC tournament only had 11 teams due to Toledo being ineligible for post season play due to low APR Scores. The Semifinals and Championship Game were held at Quicken Loans Arena.

As a part of the Preseason Media Poll, the members also voted on the Preseason All-MAC East and West Division teams. Ohio and Toledo had two players in the East and West Division polls, respectively.
