NCAA Tournament 2013: Louisville beats Michigan, 82-76, for title
It could have been either one of them at the end, the player who rescued the game or the one who seized it. Louisville senior point guard Peyton Siva had the basketball with fewer than 40 seconds remaining and a lead that needed to be protected, but he wisely passed it to teammate Luke Hancock and forced the Michigan Wolverines to foul him.
So it was Hancock who made the first set of free throws that started the Cardinals fans toward believing they were winning the 2013 NCAA championship, and when Siva was fouled with 12.9 seconds left he literally ran to the foul line and made two more. The hugs on the bench began a moment later, but Rick Pitino stepped away in thought before he allowed himself to be a part of it.
