Imagine the greatest week you've ever had. Chances are it pales in comparison to the one Louisville head coach Rick Pitino had. His second national championship was merely the icing on the cake.

Top-seeded Louisville lived up to its billing, though the Cardinals had to work for it. UofL rallied from another 12-point deficit to beat Michigan 82-76 in the championship game Monday night.

Luke Hancock equaled his career high with 22 points, including a record-setting 5 of 5 behind the arc, and was named the tournament’s most outstanding player, the first non-starter to receive the award.

Louisville rallied to defeat Michigan for the 2013 national title -- and you can celebrate the Cardinals' victory with a large selection of champions merchandise.
