NCAA Tournament: Louisville-Michigan Online News

If you stayed up late enough Monday, you saw Louisville defeat Michigan 82-76 before 70,000-plus fans at the Georgia Dome for the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament title.

The Cardinals thus completed an impressive run in March Madness 2013 -- they were the No. 1 overall seed to open the tournament.

But they had to overcome a 12-point Michigan lead Monday to win. "It was Cirque du Soleil for the hoops set," according to the New York Times.
