Rick Pinito and the 13 Louisville players won the NCCA championship title on Monday April 8th. They played Michigan and won 82-76. One of the Louisville players, Luck Hancock, scored 22 points. At one point during the first half, Michigan was ahead by 12 points, but that doesn't discourage the team. The coach said, "this team is one of the most together, toughest and hard-nosed teams. Being down never bothers us. They just come back." The coach, Pinito, was also entered into the latest Hall of Fame class and promised that he would get a tattoo to honor the team if they won. For those who do not know, Louisville is the team of Kevin Ware, the person who broke his leg in a previous March Madness game. To show their support, the team came out wearing their warm up suits with a number five on it (Ware's number) and the slogan "Ri5e to the Occasion."
