Schedule
The 2013 schedule was the first 12-game schedule in Thunderbirds history.[1] Even though the Thunderbirds played 9 conference opponents, only 8 of the games counted as conference games. The series with Sacramento State was scheduled before Southern Utah became a member of the Big Sky and did not count as a conference game for either team.[2]
