2012–13 Ivy League men's basketball season

October 2016 2012–13 Ivy League men's basketball season #008000 #FFFFFF NCAA Division I Basketball 125px January 12– March 12, 2013 8 Regular season League Champions Harvard Champions Princeton Ian Hummer, Princeton Ivy League Men's Basketball Player of the Year Basketball 2011–12 2013–14 The 2012–13 Ivy League men's basketball season marked the continuation of the annual tradition of competitive basketball among Ivy League members. The tradition began when the league was formed during the 1956–57 season and its history extends to the predecessor Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League, which was formed in 1902. Due to a cheating scandal that involved defending champion Harvard, Princeton was the preseason favorite. Harvard won the regular season title outright and earned the conference's only postseason bid. Princeton's Ian Hummer earned the Ivy League Men's Basketball Player of the Year after setting records for most single-season and career Ivy League Player of the Week awards. Harvard tied an Ivy League single-season team record with 13 combined Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week Awards. Ivy League records also fell for career games played by Hummer and career free throw percentage (Brian Barbour). In the 2013 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, Harvard earned the school's first ever NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament victory and the conference's first NCAA tournament victory in three years. Preseason The Ivy League media selected Princeton as the preseason favorite when 16 of 17 voting members (one voter selected Harvard) named Princeton first in the preseason poll.http://www.goprincetontigers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=46548&SPID=4231&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=10600&ATCLID=205719295 Men's Basketball Picked First in Ivy Preseason Media Poll January 12, 2013 October 25, 2012 GoPrincetonTigers.comAugust 2026 InternetArchiveBot Jeff Goodman of CBS Sports also selected Princeton as his preseason choice with Harvard second, noting that Harvard had been his preseason favorite until the September 2012 Harvard cheating scandal that involved about 125 athletes and students, including Kyle Casey and Brandyn Curry who withdrew from school as a result.http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/blog/eye-on-college-basketball/20642019/college-basketball-previews-princeton-led-by-ian-hummer-is-new-ivy-league-favorite College Basketball Previews: Princeton, led by Ian Hummer, is new Ivy League favorite January 12, 2013 October 22, 2012 CBS Sports Goodman, Jeff Casey and Curry had been first-team and second-team All-Ivy selections for the 2011–12 Ivy League men's basketball season, respectively.http://www.ivyleaguesports.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/Mens_Basketball_All-Ivy_--_2011-12 Men's Basketball All-Ivy – 2011–12 March 12, 2012 March 7, 2012 IvyLeagueSports.com https://web.archive.org/web/20120829033924/http://www.ivyleaguesports.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/Mens_Basketball_All-Ivy_--_2011-12 August 29, 2012 dead mdy-all Both players withdrew in hopes of preserving their final year of athletic eligibility following the investigation.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/basketball/ncaa/09/10/harvard-casey/index.html https://web.archive.org/web/20120912030639/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/basketball/ncaa/09/10/harvard-casey/index.html dead September 12, 2012 Harvard to be without Casey, Curry in wake of cheating scandal January 12, 2013 September 11, 2012 Sports Illustrated Winn, Luke Season Twelve different television networks scheduled a total of 36 Ivy League men's basketball live broadcasts for the 2012–13 season.
