What's interesting is that Michigan had to vacate all sorts of games from the 90's, including Final 4 appearances. Go look at some of those games--you won't see 80 Michigan fans whining about the games being vacated or saying "WE WON THIS GAME!!!!" etc.
The best defense I have ever seen in College basketball. Louisville is a very well coached team. I knew, after watching them destroy Syracuse a few weeks prior to the final dance, that they'd win the championship. They trap hard; they switch on defense hard; they rotate over extremely well; its just beautiful to watch. What a great team. Rick Pitino is a hell of a coach.
+Aidan Costa typical thanks for proving my point.... You might as well get your excuses ready now your team is going down the Villanova 2018 national champions#
@@aidancosta5516 Michigan did not make a lot of stupid mistakes. They hsve the most intelligent student athletes in the nation.

I was at this game with my dad . Dad passed in 2020. Great 45 years of watching Louisville basketball together with my dad. . He was class of 1958,!., crum and pitino , miss those guys lately
Perfection I wasn't at the game but I introduced RUclips to my mother with this RUclips broadcast. She got to watch this game over and over and over and over and over again until she got sick of watching it lol
One of the best championship games in recent memory. Both teams went back and forth the entire game. This game and this Louisville team really showed how great of a coach Rick Pitino is. Just ONE player from this entire 2013 roster gets solid minutes in the pros, Gorgui Dieng. Rick had one NBA player to work with and he still got it done. If you look at the title teams from this decade, each team has 2-5 pro players on it except for this Louisville squad. Hall of Fame was well deserved. And to top it all off, Kentucky just got done losing to Robert Morris in the NIT even with the 2nd best recruiting class in the nation. Go Cards!!!!

Can’t believe they took the title from those boys that worked so hard!! I’m a UK fan and hate the shit out of Louisville but these boys had nothing to do with the scandal! What a game, what a team! It just doesn’t seem fair. They’re still champions in my eyes! Go big blue!!!!
You got busted for provdng hookers and strippers to minors. Louisville didn't stop there. They kept paying recruits. You should be apologizing to America.
@@Great-one-lo2fi Because UK does it too. There's no doubt many programs pay athletes, but they don't supply hookers and prostitutes to high school teenagers on campus. UK is just as dirty as Louisville. Hell Rick Pitino coached in Lexington too. That national championship team is a fraud too.
I'm still here in 2019. I still love that team so much its unreal. I cried tears of joy and pain for my team so many years and that day it was all worth it. I love you all guys and I am still so very proud of what you accomplished together as a team, thank you so much for a great finish to a great year, and hope all your lives are well, may God bless you all.
The energy in the air and on the court was 100% the ENTIRE game! Still stands and one of the most entertaining and highly played Nattys ever! Trey Burke was on fire! Those two cheap fouls really hurt Michigan’s momentum each time and they could never recover.
This Louisville team could of beat any college basketball team in history. Each player brought something unique and they were all so in sync with eachother it was very beautiful to watch. And once they started going it was really hard to stop them! Go cards! 2013 champions 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
albrecht ... albrecht..... albrecht...... albrecht LOL.. Dick Vitale actually make college basketball 10times more fun to watch. This game was 'AWESOME BABY' haha
It felt like no one could deny L'ville this championship...16 straight wins to close out the season!!! Proud of my CARDS!!! Let's run back in 2014. Lots of experience coming back next season!!!
Autistic Anteater please explain how this team was effected by something that didn’t happen in the same year plus did the prostitutes give them steroids because that’s not cheating
LOUISVILLE IS THE GREATEST PERIOD! i have tears in my eyes right now and this happened a while ago. The city went insane on that night it was beautiful!
The part that always gives me chills is when Harrell and Chane hug and the band plays our song!!! What makes me mad is if Chane and Ware laid off the bongs we would of been back to back champions and considered a dynasty!!!
We definitely would have won in 2014. We led Kentucky most of the game in the sweet 16. That's my worst game ever as a Louisville fan. That one was even worse than losing to them in the 2012 Final Four because we weren't even supposed to make it that far in 2012, we just got hot at the right time and went on a run. And in 2014 UConn won it all, who Louisville beat THREE times that season.
39:17 what a damn pass by Siva, Steve Nash like, passed it so quick before the defense could stop them, he was the heart and soul of that run. High IQ player
i will forever love this team i was born in 1986.. so i never saw Louisville win it all, it was all about UK and how they were better than us.. My grandmother died a cardinal fan and this game still makes me cry cuz theyre was so much emotion in this team with the Big east champs losing kevin ware!! I LOVE LOUISVILLE I GREW UP HERE AND IMA FOREVER BE HERE!!! go CARDS!!!!
I was babysitting my nephew during this game tried to get him to watch but he wasn't into it he was 7 I was screaming my head off and was a basket case during 1st half I was like oh this is over for the cards so I waited it out this game was like a heart stopper but 2nd half they came back fighting thanks to luuuke brought it that Michigan team was tough and talented I must not going to trash anyone but am glad my cards won and they kept their word to ware that they would win L1C4!!!
Chane Behanan's offensive rebound and layup with 3 guys fouling him at once (2:07 left on the clock) is one of the greatest and most underrated plays I have ever seen.
Rick Pitino, the first coach to win championship titles at two different schools .. I think, but more importantly in the same state. I always come back to this game and occasionally I'll watch the five overtime game facing Notre Dame that year which was the last time Louisville lost that year. We called it the year of the Cardinal but the football Orange bowl, men's basketball champs number one overall seed and then women's basketball lady cards fell short. Not being a homer but I can't argue. This is one of the best national championship games that I've seen or we witnessed. I also felt that the previous year 2012 when Louisville and Kentucky matched up in the final four that whoever won that game was going to get that title.. But again Cheers to Michigan! Freaking great team!
So glad to be the NCAA champions with players we developed....it will be even sweeter to see nearly all of the team back next year to play for another title. Thank you Siva, Gorgui, and Marra for your dedication to learn on the court and mainly in the class room!
Those 3s by Hancock when I was watching this game just let me know louisville had it. Every time things looked bad for the cards that year Hancock was always there to swing the momentum, then they would be unstoppable
For me personally though, I was born April 8th 1986. A week late of our last National Championship, until this one. They won it on my birthday. No matter what happens in life with them. I can say the team I love more then anything won the National Championship for the first time in my life, won it on my birthday. How cool is that? You can never take that away.

Haha I never sat for one minute during this game. I was so hype. When Luke hit those 4 3’s in like a minute..WOW. I was about to blow the roof off my house. GO CARDS!! Will always be the 2013 champs.
This was 1 Heck of a NC TITLE Game. Outside of VILLANOVA Buzzer beater over UNC and ARIZONA over U.K. In 97, this is Right Up there with the greatest games. Close, Good amount of Lead changes and exciting Title game. LOUISVILLE A Great Team that year. Respect Deserved.
it's crazy that this game was 4 years ago. I was so hyped when Hancock hit those 4 threes. when Trez caught that lob and we took the lead I knew we would win the game. GO CARDS!!
I cried at the end because after a amazing tourney we came up so short.... but it was a good game and Michigan was great at the first half then just didn't have it in the second #GOBLUE
i havnt cried since i was 13 and i almost did after this game like my eyes were watering. but they would of been tears of joy because im a Louisville fan. but i feel that i cried like a little bitch when the steelers lost the super bowl
Different sport for me but about a week before this game I absolutely broke down and cried when it ended for two reasons. One it was something I thought I would never see and two was a personal reason. My dad who was a fan had died about 3 months earlier and I know how much this would have meant to him and knowing he wasn't here to see it caused me to have an emotional time. The wound was still raw from losing my dad shortly before and the emotion just poured out. And FWIW it was the 2013 NCAA Hockey tourney and our(we went to the same school) ended up in the Frozen Four for the 1st time ever.
what a year 2013 was for Louisville!! With the recruiting class of 17' packed with players that fit so well in the Pitino system WATCH OUT!!! Rick will hang Another championship banner before he's hangs it up
I legit couldn't care any less either lol. Really doesn't matter what the NCAA did, this game happened and we saw what happened. And the banner still hangs, just not on the inside of the Yum Center.
@ 1:34:50 Luke Hancock says "I'm about to get so fucked up" haha. I'm a huge UofL fan so that was beyond funny to see lol. Great game. Great win. Great team. L1C4.
Wow..what a great game watching it again. Some Michigan fans and UK fans may try to say that Michigan got robbed, which makes no sense, because there were little controversial calls at all. And if you wanna bring up officiating, how about Chane Behanan getting absolutely hacked while getting 3 or 4 offensive rebounds in a row, and no calls? There are tons more very questionable calls, but none even with 2 or 3 minutes left. It was all basketball then. Louisville was clearly the better team and is clearly one of the best teams that played together and when playing together is almost unstoppable. There is no denying that. That Louisville team is arguably one of the best ever. It may have not been full of NBA stars, but great team players and college basketball players. Lets not forget they have a Hall of Fame coach on the sideline.
Lets also not forget that Michigan had a 16 point lead that Louisville completely dominated. That comeback was all Louisville. Even if it wasn't you can't argue officiating when Michigan blew such a big lead. That team was full of fighters, they were not going to loose that game.
As a Michigan fan I was sad to see them lose this big of a game. They proved themselves in the tournament like no other, but Louisville also showed why they were Number 1 overall, and congratulations to them.
12/28/13 will be a VERY interesting game. Some of the events surrounding 2013 (beating UK by 3 at home, beating Syracuse in the Big East Tournament Championship, receiving the overall #1 seed exactly parallel those of 2009).
This was a dam good game. Michigan fought hard deserve a lot of credit. That run that Louisville went on toward the end of 1st half with Luke Hancock’s 4 three’s topped off with Peyton Siva to Montrez Harrell grown man with bad intentions dunk, was one of best runs ever in basketball history. #PIMPINGHOESWASTHECASETHATTHEYGAVETHEM.........
Spike Albrecht's first half really was a crazy thing. Like something straight out of the movie Hoosiers by a genuine small town Hoosier. Too bad it got ruined by the second half.
Burke's block was clean. It would be a big momentum lift. However, overall Louisville was the better team and deserved the win. This is one of the most entertaining games in recent NCAA Tournament history. Burke was playing like the consensus player of the year for Michigan.
This is the international (non-US) call by Vitale and ESPN's squad. I wish ESPN at least had the rights to broadcast the men's Final Four in the USA. CBS/Turner's coverage is great, but nothing hits the same as listening to the pure excitement of Dickie V going nuts on the biggest stage.
I'm so used to getting burned being a sports fan in the state of Michigan. 2005 NBA Finals -lost, 2006 World Series -lost, 2009 Stanley Cup Finals -lost, 2012 World Series -lost, 2013 NCAA Final Four -lost. It literally never fucking ends, ever. I'm not allowed to have anything.
And you actually think that all these other teams are innocent??lmao..you are as delusional as you brain dead..Louisville's thing was they got caught..and this is coming from a Kentucky fan..can't call it biased
i couldnt ask for a better championship game......this was a phenomenal display of x's and o's.......one good defensive minded coach in rick pitino....and a good offensive coach john beilein......this is a classic....

Outside of VILLANOVA Buzzer beater over UNC and ARIZONA over U.K. In 97, this is Right Up there with the greatest games. Close, Good amount of Lead changes and exciting Title game.
LOUISVILLE A Great Team that year. Respect Deserved.
Still just as sweet as it was that night! Go Cards!
What a team Louisville had
Watching this in 2020.. Damn Peypey I just realized you played most of this game wit a bum knee.. Seattle soldier forreal!
it's crazy that this game was 4 years ago. I was so hyped when Hancock hit those 4 threes. when Trez caught that lob and we took the lead I knew we would win the game. GO CARDS!!
Now it’s been 10 years. Time flies.
This is the best Louisville team and it will never be beat
Best team Pitino's, er, McGee's (yeah, right) money could buy. Now say 'bye' to the banner.
Trey B. Cartwright nah fam we ain't saying good bye to nothing
I cried at the end because after a amazing tourney we came up so short.... but it was a good game and Michigan was great at the first half then just didn't have it in the second #GOBLUE
i havnt cried since i was 13 and i almost did after this game like my eyes were watering. but they would of been tears of joy because im a Louisville fan. but i feel that i cried like a little bitch when the steelers lost the super bowl
Can't change destiny my friend. different opponent, same outcome! Louisville 2013 NCAA Champs!
Mark Jaggers not now
Different sport for me but about a week before this game I absolutely broke down and cried when it ended for two reasons. One it was something I thought I would never see and two was a personal reason. My dad who was a fan had died about 3 months earlier and I know how much this would have meant to him and knowing he wasn't here to see it caused me to have an emotional time. The wound was still raw from losing my dad shortly before and the emotion just poured out. And FWIW it was the 2013 NCAA Hockey tourney and our(we went to the same school) ended up in the Frozen Four for the 1st time ever.
They played hard. Respect.
what a year 2013 was for Louisville!! With the recruiting class of 17' packed with players that fit so well in the Pitino system WATCH OUT!!! Rick will hang Another championship banner before he's hangs it up
Best game of the year played by the best two teams in the nation, and probably the best offense against the best defense.
Couldn’t care less what the NCAA says. This still happened. U of L national champs 2013. Always and forever
I legit couldn't care any less either lol. Really doesn't matter what the NCAA did, this game happened and we saw what happened. And the banner still hangs, just not on the inside of the Yum Center.
2013 champs for life no matter what
Don't i miss games like this
From a lifelong fan, Thanks For the Upload!
This was a very exciting game! All of those threes!!! One of the best games I have ever seen.
Man....what a GAME!!! And hats off to Syracuse who indeed had a squad!!
Go Cards!!
God damn it, Chane. Why couldn't you stay clean?
Jeffrey Riley love this even in 2019, STAY OFF THE WEEEEEEED -stephen a and all of louisville
Sweeet, cheers for the upload. Missed the game.
that game was boss one of the best games of basketball i seen in a while
@ 1:34:50 Luke Hancock says "I'm about to get so fucked up" haha. I'm a huge UofL fan so that was beyond funny to see lol. Great game. Great win. Great team. L1C4.
Than they just took it away 😪
@@ligmaballs2834 They can try, but you can't erase history. We KNOW what happened and nothing can change that.
@@ligmaballs2834 Fuck em
@@ligmaballs2834 Banner or no banner we won this
Wow..what a great game watching it again. Some Michigan fans and UK fans may try to say that Michigan got robbed, which makes no sense, because there were little controversial calls at all. And if you wanna bring up officiating, how about Chane Behanan getting absolutely hacked while getting 3 or 4 offensive rebounds in a row, and no calls? There are tons more very questionable calls, but none even with 2 or 3 minutes left. It was all basketball then. Louisville was clearly the better team and is clearly one of the best teams that played together and when playing together is almost unstoppable. There is no denying that. That Louisville team is arguably one of the best ever. It may have not been full of NBA stars, but great team players and college basketball players. Lets not forget they have a Hall of Fame coach on the sideline.
Lets also not forget that Michigan had a 16 point lead that Louisville completely dominated. That comeback was all Louisville. Even if it wasn't you can't argue officiating when Michigan blew such a big lead. That team was full of fighters, they were not going to loose that game.
Michigan had a surprising number of early entries. See these guys play their junior and senior year, and they win a title. Period
Honestly this was an amazing game and both Michigan and Louisville played their her
As a Michigan fan I was sad to see them lose this big of a game. They proved themselves in the tournament like no other, but Louisville also showed why they were Number 1 overall, and congratulations to them.
The was an amazing video ..... I have learned many things from it
12/28/13 will be a VERY interesting game. Some of the events surrounding 2013 (beating UK by 3 at home, beating Syracuse in the Big East Tournament Championship, receiving the overall #1 seed exactly parallel those of 2009).
This was a dam good game. Michigan fought hard deserve a lot of credit. That run that Louisville went on toward the end of 1st half with Luke Hancock’s 4 three’s topped off with Peyton Siva to Montrez Harrell grown man with bad intentions dunk, was one of best runs ever in basketball history. #PIMPINGHOESWASTHECASETHATTHEYGAVETHEM.........
Spike Albrecht's first half really was a crazy thing. Like something straight out of the movie Hoosiers by a genuine small town Hoosier. Too bad it got ruined by the second half.
i agree
You mean ruined by Luke Hancock. That was a major upstaging.
You mean *Too bad his luck ran out*?
Evan Lukat
Louisville's defense clamped his ass down. He didn't get another point!
***** Took them long enough to do it...
Burke's block was clean. It would be a big momentum lift. However, overall Louisville was the better team and deserved the win. This is one of the most entertaining games in recent NCAA Tournament history. Burke was playing like the consensus player of the year for Michigan.
Giannis Ioannidis he was
Yep I watched it tonight the night of the 2021 championship!! Awesome awesome awesome
This is the international (non-US) call by Vitale and ESPN's squad. I wish ESPN at least had the rights to broadcast the men's Final Four in the USA. CBS/Turner's coverage is great, but nothing hits the same as listening to the pure excitement of Dickie V going nuts on the biggest stage.
Epic game! Well deserved by Louisville!
LOUEVIL could have a Dynasty on their hands...Keep On Keeping On!!
you spelled louisville wrong.idiot
Lol only if they cheat
This aged poorly
Huge Michigan fan, but what a fantastic basketball game. Congrats to Louisville. Great game! Fun to watch.
Welcome to Utah, Trey! We are thrilled to have you.
Anybody else besides me came back here after the NCAA vacated Louisville's NC?

i couldnt ask for a better championship game......this was a phenomenal display of x's and o's.......one good defensive minded coach in rick pitino....and a good offensive coach john beilein......this is a classic....
Good game. Very good game and a great atmosphere.
