Louisville wins NCAA National Championship!

[Pike]

Did anyone keep up with this years tournament? With the Ware injury and so on. Pitino is the first coach to win championships with two different teams?

I must say I hardly ever watch basketball. Maybe one or two games in the post-season if I even do. However, since Louisville is my home-town, there isn't too many sports here.. its a Basketball State.. Other sports and sports teams I follow are scattered throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe, haha.

Well.. maybe even Oz was a Louisville fan
..probably not, came across more of a thrift
store pick-me-up. Anyways, I always wanted

I picked Louisville to win when the tournament started. However, being a Michigan fan, I got no joy out of the way that game ended up going. So, yeah...

Im a huge college basketball fan so I followed both the women and mens tourney. Best month if the year!

I'm not surprised by the Louisville men winning it, although Wichita State and Michigan both have them a hard run for their money. So fun having such good final four games on the men's side.

Kevin Ware's injury was insane. Talk about gruesome. He seems to have handled it pretty well and seems like a genuinely good guy, it will be exciting to see him return next year.

The Louisville women's team had an epic run in the tourney too. First number 5 seed to make it to the championship game, knocked out Brittney Griner and Baylor (one of the biggest upsets ever), beating Tennessee. Even with their embarrassing and not surprising loss to UCONN, I think their run has really put the school on the map as an elite basketball school.

It's safe to say it was a great year for both the men's and women's Louisville basketball teams.
