† 2013 America East tournament winner As of March 22, 2013 Rankings from AP Poll *Ineligible for conference tournament due to changing conferences in 2013 |
Although the conference had nine members, only eight participated in that year's tournament. Boston University, which left the America East after the season to join the Patriot League, had been barred from conference postseason play. America East bylaws allowed the conference to prevent a departing member from participating in its postseason tournaments, and the America East chose to enforce this rule against Boston University.[2]
