The Cougars, led by third year head coach James Dickey, played their home games at Hofheinz Pavilion and participated as a member of Conference USA. The season marked the last for the Cougars as a member of C-USA as they joined the American Athletic Conference in July 2013. The Cougars ended the regular season with a 3-game winning streak and a 7–9 conference record. This placed the team as the number six seed in the C-USA tournament and a matchup with cross-town rival Rice in the first round. The Cougars won the game 72–67 and advanced to the quarterfinals to face UTEP where they lost 80–69. After the UTEP loss, UH officials looked into options for the team to play in either the CBI or CIT postseason tournaments to give the young team more experience.Season might not be over as UH explores postseason options https://archive.today/20130410170217/http://blog.chron.com/cougars/2013/03/season-might-not-be-over-as-uh-explores-postseason-options/ 2013-04-10 , Houston Chronicle, retrieved 26 March 2013 The Cougars were later invited to participate in the 2013 College Basketball Invitational and paired up with Texas in the first round.Men's Basketball to Meet Texas in CBI Opening Round on Wednesday https://web.archive.org/web/20130511011738/http://www.uhcougars.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/031713aam.html 2013-05-11 , UH Athletics, retrieved 26 March 2013 Houston defeated the Longhorns and advanced to the quarterfinals where they lost to George Mason in overtime.
