"And just like that! In a blink the eye!" My favorite sport quote ever, because that's what Louisville did all season. Just go on these ridiculous runs out of no where.
U really think katina Lowell was the reason some of these guys committeed to lville? Get real, I’m sure they had other schools offering them money under the table or other deals, the notion that they got these players bc of her is bs, and tbh the assistant coach is to blame, I highly doubt Rick knew about that, there were even players on the team like like Hancock and others that had no clue about it
Still the best 2-3 minutes of sports I've ever seen and was lucky enough to see it in person. Never gets old. I can still here the LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE.
Lifelong Louisville fan, I remember being on the edge of my seat the entire night, each one of those threes I started to come more and more out of my seat on the couch. Then the Trez Dunk happened and me and everyone I was watching with just lost their minds. We were all screaming and cheering, best night of my life.
Same here I was a 14 year old kid in Atlanta to watch it in person I’m currently 21 now. Best moment of my life. Was me and my dad and we were literally losing our minds. When the trez dunk happened in person you couldn’t hear yourself think
After the past few disappointing seasons i enjoy going back and looking at ricks teams especially the ones from the consecutive final fours. These are the guys i think about when i think “Louisville basketball”
Same here I got to meet all of them at my work one year as a big fan it was really cool, i wish they would bring back pitino tbh, your right when u think of the memories of lville basketball they were all ricks teams
One of the hottest hands in a championship game that lead to a comeback. Luke Hancock was on fire. Amazing stretch of play right there. Huge turning point.
My all-time favorite game of any sport hands down. Miss Siva, Gorgui, Luke, and Russ so much! Wish Lee and Lewis could have had a chance for the ship! Go Cards!
I was never really worried. I knew Louisville would bring home the trophy, I knew from the start of the season. Louisville was the most elite team that season.
There's not many other teams in sports history that played like these guys. No real freak athletes or super stars. These dudes played for the guy next to them and they picked each other up. Sooo much fun to watch.
I will never forget how exciting this 3-4 minute sequence was to witness in person. Granted, I was 6 rows from the back of the stadium, and nobody on the court could hear my screaming, but the entire Final Four was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life, and this was the icing on the National Championship cake.
Had it not been for "Cool Hand Luke" would have been a different game, but we had him, he was cool, and the team followed his lead. We have the last Championship in the State. GO CARDS!
@@garyking2480 - Actually they are. Their championship was vacated, which means it did happen, otherwise a championship wouldn't have been vacated. For 5 years it counted, they're still the most recent in that state to win one.
Being a life long card fan , as far as basketball , this was like my second favorite thing ever.....but I'm sorry , I don't see anything I have witnessed topping the last game in Freedom Hall. Nothing. You could not have written a better script than the storyline on top of what happen in Louisville that day......but this was pure magic on its own.
Die hard card here. My people, stop talkin shit we don't want to sound like UK fans. We will be good next year but humility is what helped our team win the title. Let's as fans do the same.
It's just crazy this kind of sequence happened in the national championship game while down by 12. 4 straight 3s by Luke and the dunk by Trez to cap it off. This could've happened in the regular season but didn't. Could have happened in an earlier tournament round but didn't. Happened when the lights were the brightest. It's like something Hollywood might write up.
This was a great game! The first half was just insane with all the big shots made by both teams. Louisville just had too much size on the interior and they executed a lot better than Michigan in the second half. After Michigan went up 12, Louisville just wore them down.
The ironic thing is that the Cardinals won with offense. Michigan did all they needed offensively against one of the best defenses in modern college history but still lost.
Sure can. I, like others, predicted Louisville to win the championship this year. They're going to be just as good/talented/experienced next year too. Back-to-back champs.
IT WAS LUKE HANCOCK AKA 2013 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! I don't see how the ones who thought this was 07 or thought it was someone els could say there a sports fan the NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP is only the biggest game of College sports of the year! AND WE HANDED THEM A "L" AND SENT EM HOME CRYIN!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CARDS!!!
Painful to watch as a Michigan fan. LeVert gets caught in no man's land on the first three. Hardaway doesn't pick up the shooter on the break for some reason on the second shot. Then on the third one LeVert gets caught in the wash down low. Haven't seen the fourth one yet lol. But hats off to Louisville on this one. I still think the block was clean but those are the breaks. As a Mich. fan I am tired of complaining about the Phantom Touchdown by USC and other bad breaks so I will say congrats to the Cardinals and former coach Pitino. Go BLUE and Go JUWAN!!!
At least you all have still contended for championships since this. Michigan remains one of the best year after year. You gotta feel a championship is coming sooner than later. I don't wanna say Louisville has completely fallen off, but they really haven't been a national threat since 2015...right when the NCAA came at us with bad news. I'll still always take this championship, but its been brutal ever since.
Luke's 3rd three was da icing 4th one was da cherry on top montrez dunk my whole house was on 10 beer blunts n liquor was going every were cause we was tor up dat nite one of the best nites of my life L1C4 all day
LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE!!! Final Four Most Outstanding Player! And finish off with one of the most spectacular dunks in the tournament! Trez! That's when I knew that the Louisville Cardinals were going to be the 2013 National Champions! Go Cards!!!
can anyone tell me why spike albrecht doesnt always play for michigan, he just hit a three and had like 4 assists vs michigan state in like 1 minute and they went on 1 9-0 run. But they havent played him since.... anyone know why
This clip is astounding! Sure gets you pumped! Did you see that the Fab Five were all there? No wonder Michigan lost. They always do when the Fab Five is at a championship game.
Best 4-minute stretch of Louisville Cardinal Basketball ever. Hands down. LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE!!!
"And just like that! In a blink the eye!" My favorite sport quote ever, because that's what Louisville did all season. Just go on these ridiculous runs out of no where.
Our defense kept us in games, and at the same time our offense could be explosive...we always lead the nation in the most 8-0 or more spurts.
Yeah...then Katina Powell happened
" They boom ya " Mike krzyzewski
Yeah I remember it like it was yest, how could you forget that game, same goes for the game agasint cuse to win the big east title
U really think katina Lowell was the reason some of these guys committeed to lville?

It's sad that I'm still watching this video and we're already into the following season. Best college game I've ever attended. Go Cards!
Still come back to see it!!
Same we need Rick back
Kentucky fan here....this video is awesome
M S bandwagon, you ain’t even from lexington you probably don’t even know what it is
It is now 2021 and that alley oop to trez still gives me goosebumps
FACTZ

Insane! I was there. best day of my life. CARDS! That year was pure magic.

@@willthomas7666 that’s mainly bc I’m 20 years old lol. I’m sure my dad could go on and on about the teams in the 80s
vacated wins
@@MickeyMouse-lm6zj
Your butthurtis is showing. 🤣😆😂😆🤣😁🤣🤣😆😂😆🤣😁🤣
I have all these games on DVD. I get to enjoy multiple seasons during the non-sports season.
If Luke Hancock wouldn't have made those three's Michigan would've won without a doubt. It was a huge turning point in the game.
+Thatmothatrucka123 That's "MO" for ya'. Once your team gets it, it's hard to stop'em.
and if the sun didn't come up today we'd all freeze to death. like what?
GareBear most definitely! I was panicking right before all that happened like damn i hope they dont stretch the lead
Kinda funny cuz the kid from Michigan averaged 2 points a game. I’m pretty sure if it wasn’t for him louisville would have blown them out
You must not have watched us play much in that era lol
One of the hottest hands in a championship game that lead to a comeback. Luke Hancock was on fire. Amazing stretch of play right there. Huge turning point.
Montrezl's monster dunk to punctuate!
My all-time favorite game of any sport hands down. Miss Siva, Gorgui, Luke, and Russ so much! Wish Lee and Lewis could have had a chance for the ship! Go Cards!
Not much makes me smile but just looking at this at 4am brings lots of smiles and good memories. Go cards
Bruh its 4:21 am rn and thats exactly what Im doing 😂😂😂😂
Best uofl team hands down I love my cards L1C4
right UK fans can suck it
Hunter Lindsey Wait til this and next year's teams. Pitino stated his best 2 recruiting classes by far here at UofL. I'm excited all over again
Michael Jordan next years team might win the tittle. Book it. That class and team are going to be insane.
I was never really worried. I knew Louisville would bring home the trophy, I knew from the start of the season. Louisville was the most elite team that season.
I was fortunate to go to that game and felt great at halftime, obviously. The game I thought we were done in was the prior game down big to Wichita...
I still watch this and go wow... incredible. LUKE !!! LUUUUUUUUKE!
this is the best video on youtube.
Gives me cold chills every time
literally got chills just now.. i will remember that like it was yesterday Every time I watch it
One of the best championship games ever #L1C4
Every time i watch this or the game period its pure nostalgia 100% every single play.. Great year!! #L1C4
Whenever i'm feeling down, these three minutes always brings me up!
There's not many other teams in sports history that played like these guys. No real freak athletes or super stars. These dudes played for the guy next to them and they picked each other up. Sooo much fun to watch.
LETS DO IT AGAIN CARD NATION
Brandon Nunez Strong possibility this and next year. #facts
This never get old watching Hancock’s four 3’s and a dunk by Harrell to take the lead.
Go Cards!!!
Still get chills watching this!!!
Me, too, man...love those Cards!!
I will never forget how exciting this 3-4 minute sequence was to witness in person. Granted, I was 6 rows from the back of the stadium, and nobody on the court could hear my screaming, but the entire Final Four was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life, and this was the icing on the National Championship cake.
Every time I watch it it's just as thrilling as the first lol luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke!!!!!
Has anybody else but me watched this numerous time just to see the sequence of events of the Montrezl Harrell dunk. Man that was a thing of beauty.
I hope to see this again this year #GoCards
4 years of he'll now with mack!!! Miss Ricky p....
I never get tired of watching this video!
Not sure if Luke Hancock or Kevin Love...
mini kevin love
Had it not been for "Cool Hand Luke" would have been a different game, but we had him, he was cool, and the team followed his lead. We have the last Championship in the State. GO CARDS!
last 'ship in the state... I hadn't considered that. cool.
Actually ya don’t because the title got stripped!! Sorry buddy 😂
@@garyking2480 - Actually they are. Their championship was vacated, which means it did happen, otherwise a championship wouldn't have been vacated. For 5 years it counted, they're still the most recent in that state to win one.
@@garyking2480 it’ll be a cold day in hell before I let a corrupt organization like the NCAA tell me how history works
Still love this first half becaus it is Albrecht vs Hancock, both of whom are very under appreciated.
Yes exactly
I hate my team let him go tho
Being a life long card fan , as far as basketball , this was like my second favorite thing ever.....but I'm sorry , I don't see anything I have witnessed topping the last game in Freedom Hall. Nothing. You could not have written a better script than the storyline on top of what happen in Louisville that day......but this was pure magic on its own.
hancock is so underrated
Arguably the best 1st half of National Championship game ever.
one of my favorite youtube videos, love it
Still gives me chills.
L1C4! 2013 NCAA Champs, Louisville Cardinals!
I was in section 227 (second level.) We were all going crazy. I agree with all you've said. Priceless experience.
The craziest thing about this is that all four of his trees were from the exact...same...spot.
Die hard card here. My people, stop talkin shit we don't want to sound like UK fans. We will be good next year but humility is what helped our team win the title. Let's as fans do the same.
Favorite basketball moment
NBA playoffs could never top this! best 4 min ever!
Cards. Champs forever.
Still the best birthday present of all time!!! Go Cards!!!
I remember watching this live with my dad and going absolutely insane
A well deserved championship for us
When montrezl dunked I though to myself "were back bitches".
Greatest day of my life
Got the chance to watch Luke shoot threes in a three point contest in Dallas way back, and it’s worth the trip!
What a damn game. Still gives me goosebumps.
Best 3 minutes in NCAA history
I lost my mind when trez through down that oop. I jumped and screamed in my seat until halftime
It's just crazy this kind of sequence happened in the national championship game while down by 12. 4 straight 3s by Luke and the dunk by Trez to cap it off.

Agree never gets old
UofM here. Still heartbreaking. Great game.
Trust me mike that Louisville squad was determined 🦾🦾🦾
@@domoking6350 determined to illegally recruit of whatever the coach did. they stripped them of their title that year. should have been ours.
@@mt1990sweg psshshhh. They won fair and square.
any white basketball player named luke automatically has a killer 3 point shot
Isaac Dunaway this is so true bro haha
Luuuukkee was smooth as silk
The ironic thing is that the Cardinals won with offense. Michigan did all they needed offensively against one of the best defenses in modern college history but still lost.
just like that, in the blink of an eye...
The city was crazy that night. Best night of my life !
Never gets old
LLLLLLUUUUUKKKKKEEEEEE!!!!
Me too Bro....
That dunk was sick...but even MORE sick when you see it from above.
All the way from downtown baby. This girl loves her CARDS!
So does this girl! ^_^
GO CARDS!
Savannah Graceffa And I love you girls. :D
Crazy passage of plays
Luke felt the force.
Sure can. I, like others, predicted Louisville to win the championship this year. They're going to be just as good/talented/experienced next year too. Back-to-back champs.
There are 9 salty Kentucky/Michigan fans.
I enjoy watching this video every year before the championship game, it’s like a ritual now
I'm a KU fan, so this game was GREAT! BOO MICHIGAN!
the best three minutes ever.
Oh man this game was fun to watch
Good times man, good times.
Best 4 minutes of my life.
I wish they had a camera on Coach P the entire time. lol

I hope so.
where was trey burke?
Sitting with fouls. He came back out to start the 2nd half.
Die hard Wolverine fan here. I yelled at the screen when I watched this video, 6 months later. Still hurts.
that Alley oop was sick
Started with the Hancock steal, AFTER the 4 straight
Although I liked Michigan, Louisville did the best they could, and that makes me happy for the Cards.
Is there any way of finding the full game online to see? The CBS version, not ESPN America. Please help
This is fuckin awesome
