The 2012–13 men's college basketball season was filled with standout performances, thrilling upsets, and a dramatic NCAA Tournament. The Louisville Cardinals, led by head coach Rick Pitino, captured the national championship with a hard-fought 82–76 victory over Michigan in the title game. The Cardinals were powered by the stellar play of Russ Smith and Final Four Most Outstanding Player Luke Hancock, who delivered clutch performances throughout the tournament. The season was also marked by the rise of Michigan’s Trey Burke, who won National Player of the Year and hit a memorable deep three-pointer against Kansas in the Sweet 16 to keep Michigan’s title hopes alive. One of the most emotional moments of the season came when Louisville’s Kevin Ware suffered a gruesome leg injury during the Elite Eight, inspiring his team to rally and win the championship. However, Louisville’s title was later vacated due to NCAA violations, adding a complex footnote to an otherwise unforgettable season.
