2012–13 BYU Cougars women's basketball team

The 2012–13 BYU Cougars women's basketball team represented Brigham Young University in the 2012–13 college basketball season. It was head coach Jeff Judkins twelfth season at BYU. The Cougars, members of the West Coast Conference, played their home games at the Marriott Center. They finished the season 23–11, 11–5 in conference play, to finish tied for 3rd in the conference. The Cougars advanced to the second round of the 2013 Women's National Invitation Tournament, where they lost to conference foe Saint Mary's. In an unusual event, the leader at Halftime of all 3 BYU/ Saint Mary's meetings would go on to lose the match.

Redshirt News
The Cougars were bolstered by the news that Haley Steed would be granted a sixth year of eligibility after she missed out on two previous seasons from injuries. Steed missed out on her 2009-2010 season after playing only the season opening game against Portland State and then was given a medical redshirt during the 2010-11 season.

BYU Radio Sports Network Affiliates
Many Lady Cougar games were broadcast live on BYU Radio found nationwide on Dish Network 980, on Sirius XM 143, and online at www.byuradio.org. Ty Brandenburg acted as the voice of the Lady Cougars for games not shown on BYUtv. 16 BYU games weren't available on BYU Radio, but of those 16 games 12 were broadcast on BYUtv. 2 of the remaining 3 games were streamed online live by the home team, and the Pepperdine game was available through Pepperdine's road broadcast. Only the Washington State game had no TV or audio broadcast available.

The good news for the Cougars is Jennifer Hamson returned to the BYU women's basketball team during the Utah game after the volleyball team's season ended with a Sweet Sixteen loss.
