2012–13 Towson Tigers men's basketball team
American college basketball season
The 2012–13 Towson Tigers men's basketball team represented Towson University during the 2012–13 NCAA Division I men's basketball season . The Tigers, led by second year head coach Pat Skerry , played their home games at the Towson Center and were members of the Colonial Athletic Association . Due to low APR scores, the Tigers were ineligible for post season play, including the CAA Tournament. They finished the season 18–13, 13–5 in CAA play to finish in a tie for second place. This was the Tigers' last season playing home games at the Towson Center as they moved to their new home, Tiger Arena , in 2013–14.
NCAA single season turnaround record
The 2012–13 team's record of 18–13 was a 17.5-game win improvement from the year before, which set the new NCAA Division I record for a single-season turnaround (in 2011–12 they had finished 1–31).[1] The 2002–03 Mercer Bears and 2003–04 UTEP Miners basketball teams had each formerly held the record of 17-game improvements.[1]
