Louisville vs Wichita St 2013 Final Four (FULL GAME)

[@YourPlug1]

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.

[@michaelbarber4299]

Chane’s poster dunk was against DePaul and the SMU game was in the 2013-14 season.

Ditto.

[@chartskytrades9939]

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.

Man I remember being at drake praying Lord have mercy and than it turned around finally....

[@251to502]

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.

[@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!

[@Junkman2008]

Louisville fan here, this Shocker team put the world on notice that the Shockers were for real. I had never heard or seen them play until the year of this tourney.

[@251to502]

Other notes: When Louisville made the 2005 Final Four, their bracket had three of the four coaches they faced in 2013: Oregon - Dana Altman (Creighton, lost 63-61 to West Virginia in the Round of 64). Michigan - John Beilein (West Virginia, despite shooting 18/27 from three lost in OT in the Elite 8). Also, Rick Pitino's second Final Four was an 81-78 loss to the Fab Five coached by Steve Fisher Gregg Marshall (Winthrop, lost 74-64 to Gonzaga who Marshall's Shockers would stun in the Round of 32 eight years later). A year before, Wichita St was the 5 seed in Kentucky's bracket and a lot of folks thought they were Sweet 16 good until they met VCU for a second year.

[@BetterB502]

Such a great game. Honestly college basketball isn’t the same. It was slowly going downhill at this time. But once they made it to where kids back pretty much be recruited to other teams it’s really going to hurt college basketball. Coaches will have hard times developing kids because ether if the kid doesn’t feel he’s getting enough pt he’ll leave or if the coach does make him into something while at a smaller school he’ll probably leave to a “better school”.

[@dougtroklus8552]

Chane won us this game: 4-4 FT's, a bucket, a few RB's, an assist off a steal that led to Luke's 3- all during the critical stretch

[@OndrausCissell]

Thank you for posting!!!!!!!!!

[@251to502]

Worth noting that Rick Pitino himself was impressed with Wichita State since November 2012 when they went to VCU and beat the Rams. He considered them as a team to watch since then. Also noting they were the third Missouri Valley team (league we was a part of many decades ago) we faced that season (Northern Iowa and Illinois State were the other two and they were just as tough as this game).

[@Junkman2008]

Best game of the tournament in my opinion what a hard fought game, who ever was gonna win this one was gonna win the tournament

[@251to502]

Agreed. Wichita State (before a few bad conference losses), was as high as #15 in the polls. I actually picked the Shockers to get to the Elite 8, and thought that the first semifinal was gonna be UL/OSU.

[@brandonrowsell8943]

if kevin ware doesent get re injured and chane bohanan doesent get suspeneded. Louisville would have cut down the nets for a 2nd year in a row.

[@ktrigg2]

Hahahahahhahahaha

[@brandonrowsell8943]

lol what? its tru

[@ktrigg2]

It's funny because ULs performance actually improved only after they got rid of those two and Pitino essentially said as much in his interviews. As for Germ, it never gets old hearing Card fans playing the ref card in trying to rationalize the utter dominance they have succumb to by the Cats.

[@ktrigg2]

Jerm Johnson Yeah, UL didn't flop at all, lol. You should make reference to the fact that UKs offense involved using their size and driving to the basket and in combination with the new rules last year, it resulted in a large amount of free throws. More importantly, you should also stop crying like a bitch an remember that we beat you TWICE last year and every meeting except one since Cal started. I like your success little bro, but know your place.

[@brandonrowsell8943]

ktrigg2 ware and chane were out so early in the season that we never really got to see Louisville with all the pieces to the puzzle. Louisville was going to improve anyway. teams either get better or get worse throughout the season. Louisville rebounded from the setbacks and despite that became a contender in march. im not gonna cry about the Kentucky game. UK was the better team. they were in dec and they were in march. I just think it would have been a different ball game had ware and chane played those games.

[@ryan979_]

[@251to502]

The MVC is gonna be interesting to watch. A lot of people are hyped up about Wichita State, but they should consider the fact that they lost PG Malcolm Armstead (West Region MOP) as well as frontcourt player Carl Hall (who blocked 6 shots against Ohio State in the West Regional final).

[@Owen004]

I miss this scoreboard

[@251to502]

Interesting you mentioned that, because we play Missouri State this year who will probably want to play a slowdown game. Wichita State (as Rick referred to them as 'Marquette on Steroids') usually isn't a slowdown team, although they can grind it out at times (which was Gregg Marshall's game plan).

[@BrownanDownable]

Sucks the Shox lost. But that was a really good game. It was actually better than the Championship game. Wichita went up big in both halves and Louisville fought all the way back.

[@251to502]

Odd notes behind Hancock's performance in this game, as well as the school he played for in the past: At George Mason, he hit a late three against Villanova which gave the Patriots the lead they would not lose (he did not play with the Patriots against Ohio St in the Round of 32 - 2011). George Mason, who in 2006 and when Hancock was a player was under Larranaga, was the team who Wichita St's Sweet 16 appearance back in 2006 ended against (a rematch of a bracketbuster game a month before).

[@vmascaro1965]

This was a great game. Well played by both teams. However, based on Vitale's stupid comments, you would have thought the Shox were an inferior team.

[@pnuttt3r]

Another great comeback, if only Louisville went inside earlier.

[@speabody]

How do you call a jump ball in one second? I've seen scrums for the ball where more than two people have their hands on the ball for 2-3 seconds. Also reaching around the guys waist with both arms, barely touched the ball. At the end of the game no less. Incredibly weak call.

[@TEUNISFMCCLAIN]

I cannot understand Dick Vitate most of the time.

[@251to502]

The one notable thing about the 2013 Final Four was that both match ups were teams who were connected through one conference at one point Louisville/Wichita State - Missouri Valley (many decades ago) Michigan/Syracuse - John Beilein (before arriving at Michigan) was the coach at West Virginia (Big East).

[@251to502]

I wonder who would win between Michigan and Wichita State (should a game like that happen in the tournament, it probably would be in either Omaha, Portland or Seattle)?

[@troyissocool]

Hope another gift wrapped end of game victory comes to Louisville, hoping to avoid something like this in the 2014 tourn.

[@251to502]

I hope Chane learns from this recent suspension. Against UK and even UNC (should we meet), we're gonna have to get the big guys involved (not just Montrezl, also Mangok, Stephan), somewhat similar to how UConn did against the Wildcats in the 2011 Final Four (which was partially why they edged them in the rebounding category).

[@251to502]

I could be wrong, but if we're gonna make another title run, we might have to have the Shockers in our bracket (2015).

[@251to502]

Just a guess, although Arizona could be another team (scored 103 against them months before Sean Miller became their coach).

Unless they are a top three seed (potentially unlikely), Wichita State will not play in St. Louis since the MVC is hosting that pod (on the other hand, it's very likely the Cards will play there as a top three seed, dominated Arkansas 96-66 the last time they were in the Scottrade Center - 2009).
