The reigning, defending Horizon League champion Detroit Titans are set for a chance to repeat, but the road may very well be an encore performance. Just like last year, the #1 seed Valparaiso Crusaders will host the tournament in the quarterfinals & semifinals and also the title game, should they reach that far. If not, the #2 seed Titans will host the championship at Calihan Hall. With Valpo & Detroit earning a bye into the semifinals, the #3 seed Wright State Raiders also received a bye, but will compete in the quarterfinals.
Starting off the 2013 Horizon League Tournament will be #6 Youngstown State hosting #7 Loyola this Tuesday night.

As for Valpo, they await the winners of the 1st round as #9 Milwaukee travels to #4 Green Bay and #5 UIC host #8 Cleveland State. The road to the NCAA tournament begins this Tuesday night.
