    I remember almost every game that season. There will never be another team like this one. From Chane Behanan’s poster dunk at Providence, Russ Smith’s flu game at SMU, 17 pt comeback in the Big East championship vs Syracuse to win by 16, Tim Hendersons game saving 3’s in this game, Lukes mvp game in the ship, just everything I love this team.

    I remember being surprised by how much Wichita St belonged (athletically, quality of play, coaching, size, depth). 9 seed, “mid major”. Nothing flukish about their run. Excellent squad.

    There have been a lot of great games in my UofL fan experience throughout my life, this will certainly be one for many many years to come...Nothing but class & pure respect for Wichita State...You guys had a fantastic group of kids & basketball team. Much respect!

    I was there as a basketball fan. Proud to say my family and I left the weekend as Louisville fans for life
  • Will always remember Tim Henderson because of this game, forever grateful for him as a Louisville fan

    This felt like one of those classic Midwestern 80s matchups. Watching this at times makes me imagine Dr. Dunkenstein going up against Antoine Carr and the old-school Shockers.

    Proud of my shocks !! Louisville is a class act team and good for them. but damn would of been nice to win !!!

    Absolutely. They were (27-5) (16-2 MVC) that year.

    Had this Final Four game been 48 years ago, it would've been an in-conference Final Four game (much like Providence-Syracuse in 1987).

    Another footnote. When Louisville was given a #4 seed in the 2005 WEST bracket, Gregg Marshall was the coach of the #14 seed in that same bracket (Winthrop), who lost a 74-64 game to #3 Gonzaga, whose first NCAA tourament win under Mark Few happened in Denny Crum's last game as coach (2000 - #7 Louisville vs. #10 Gonzaga). Eight years later, Gonzaga lost to Marshall's next school, Wichita St.

    This Cardinals team was the best “team” in the last 25+ years. Just a well coached squad who believed in each other.

    I have NEVER been more nervous in my 28 years of watching basketball as a Louisville fan. MUCH respect to Wichita State and their fans. I enjoyed the interaction with them. Had Louisville not been in the final four I would have been a huge Shocker fan.

    OMG!!!! I SEE MY FELLOW MGC CLASSMATE CARL HALL #22!!!!! Same number he had at MGC!!!! Made us extremely proud. 
  • Yep . . . I felt cautiously confident in all other games during the 2013 Tournament, but had a feeling of dread during most of this one from the opening tip.
  • @Drewdey
    I loved watching both of these teams.
  • @Padmepotter4986
    In my highly biased opinion (WSU alum here), I think THIS was the championship game. It came down to the last few plays. Those last four minutes were thrilling to say the least. I am sorry my Shox lost but so proud of the way we played all tourney long!
