Automatic qualifiers
The following teams were automatic qualifiers for the 2013 NCAA field by virtue of winning their conference's tournament (except for the UAA, whose regular-season champion received the automatic bid).

At-large qualifiers
The NCAA Selection Committee no longer awards an automatic bid to a team from the conferences without automatic berths and non-affiliated schools (Pool B). Therefore, all selections were made at-large from all conferences (Pool C).
