Best Round of 64 matchup: Clemson-New Mexico State. Everyone loves the 5-12 matchups, but this could be an entertaining game because points could come at a premium; both teams got here with stellar defense. Clemson finished in a four-way tie for third place in the ACC (including a victory against North Carolina), but the Tigers’ ceiling lowered with senior forward Donte Grantham’s season-ending knee injury in late January; they haven’t been nearly as offensively potent without him. If New Mexico State’s Zach Lofton can get going from three-point range, where he shoots almost 40%, he could keep the Aggies within range for a long time.

BIGGEST SNUBS: Seven teams that had strong case to make NCAA field

BRACKET ANALYSIS: Selection committee valued early wins, not late failures

Potential upset: No. 11 seeds Arizona State and Syracuse were among the “last four in,” which is why they’ll meet in the First Four. But either – and this is especially true if Arizona State finds its way out of Dayton and heads to Detroit – showed the firepower (early in the season, anyway) to upend No. 6 TCU. Arizona State’s resume includes victories over No. 1 seeds Xavier and Kansas. Syracuse’s path forward seems more difficult, but led by Tyus Battle and Frank Howard, the Orange owns a win against Clemson and has Jim Boeheim’s trademark zone that causes issues if you haven’t see it. TCU, meanwhile, was very average in the second half of the season.

The sleeper: The debate over whether Oklahoma should have been in the field was legitimate – the Sooners lost eight of their last 10; after a first half with so much promise, their season spiraled into free fall. But go back and watch the early part of the season, when freshman phenom Trae Young was regularly drilling three-pointers from the logo and the Sooners were regularly drilling opponents. Nothing in the last six weeks suggests Oklahoma will do it. But if the Sooners awaken – well, we’ve seen what they can do.

The winner: Michigan State. The temptation here is to pick No. 2 Duke, which features the most talented starting lineup in the entire 68-team field. Meanwhile, the No. 1 seed is not your typical Kansas team. These Jayhawks have very little depth and don’t have a lottery pick – and there’s also their dubious recent history in the NCAA tournament. No. 3 Michigan State might be lurking a little under the radar (in part because the Big Ten tournament was so long ago, it seems like it was played in late January). In sophomore Miles Bridges, the Spartans have a superstar who’s headed to the NBA lottery. But beyond Bridges, this team is loaded with a roster that could not only get to the Final Four – it could win it.

The teams

1. Kansas

Nickname: Jayhawks. Location: Lawrence.

Record: 27-7, 13-5. Bid: Big 12 champ.

Last appearance: 2017, lost to Oregon in Elite Eight.

Coach: Bill Self (43-18 in 19 appearances).

Overview: This isn’t a typical Kansas team — no surefire lottery pick, no special freshman, very little depth. But, led by senior guard Devonte’ Graham, Big 12 player of the year, the Jayhawks won their 14th consecutive Big 12 regular-season title and followed up by winning the conference tournment. Kansas features a four-guard lineup that makes 10 three-pointers a game, and transfer Malik Newman emerged as an explosive scorer in the Big 12 tournament, but the Jayhawks could be susceptible to opponents with size — especially if center Udoka Azubuike isn’t recovered from a sprained knee.

Projected starters: G Devonte’ Graham, 6-2 Sr. (17.3 ppg, 7.3 apg, 41.1 3FG%); G Svi Mykhailiuk, 6-8 Sr. (15.1 ppg, 45.1 3FG%); G Lagerald Vick, 6-5, Jr. (12.1 ppg, 4.9 rpg); G Malik Newman, 6-3, So. (12.9 ppg, 4.8 rpg); C Udoka Azubuike 7-0, So. (13.7 ppg, 7.1 rpg, 77.4 FG%).

2. Duke

Nickname: Blue Devils. Location: Durham, N.C.

Record: 26-7, 13-5. Bid: ACC at-large.

Last appearance: 2017, lost to South Carolina in Round of 32.

Coach: Mike Krzyzewski (91-28 in 33 appearances).

Overview: The Blue Devils have the star power to win it all even if they didn’t match their preseason No. 1 ranking. Marvin Bagley III did live up to the hype as a freshman and was ACC player of the year. Grayson Allen provides shooting and a veteran presence. A switch to a zone defense late in the season has given the team a boost. The freshman backcourt of Trevon Duval and Gary Trent Jr. will determine if Mike Krzyzewski takes home his sixth national title.

Projected starters: F Marvin Bagley III, 6-11, Fr. (21.1 ppg, 11.5 rpg, 60.5 FG%); F Wendell Carter Jr., 6-10, Fr. (13.8 ppg, 9.3 rpg, 56.4 FG%); G Grayson Allen, 6-5, Sr. (15.7 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 4.5 apg, 85.3 FT%); G Gary Trent Jr., 6-6, Fr. (14.3 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 41.5 3FG%); G Trevon Duval, 6-3, Fr. (9.9 ppg, 5.5 apg).

3. Michigan State

Nickname: Spartans. Location: East Lansing.

Record: 29-4, 16-2. Bid: Big Ten at-large.

Last appearance: 2017, lost to Kansas in the Round of 32.

Coach: Tom Izzo (47-19 in 20 appearances).

Overview: A preseason Final Four pick based on a star-studded returning sophomore class, the Spartans haven’t disappointed in 2017-18, claiming the Big Ten regular-season title and hitting their stride on the latter half of the season. This might be coach Tom Izzo’s most talented team. The Spartans have plenty of offensive options, and Michigan State led the nation in assists, blocks, rebounding margin, and field goal percentage defense.

Projected starters: G Cassius Winston, 6-0, So. (12.6 ppg, 6.8 apg, 52.6 3FG%); G Joshua Langford, 6-5, So. (11.7 ppg, 84.6 FT%, 42.4 3FG%); G/F Miles Bridges, 6-7, So. (16.9 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 88.3 FT%); F Nick Ward, 6-8, So. (12.6 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 65.5 FG%); F Jaren Jackson Jr., 6-1, Fr. (11.3 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 3.3 bpg).

4. Auburn

Nickname: Tigers. Location: Auburn, Ala.

Record: 25-7, 13-5. Bid: SEC at-large.

Last appearance: 2003, lost to Syracuse in Sweet 16.

Coach: Bruce Pearl (10-8 in eight appearances).

Overview: Auburn — which claimed its first SEC regular-season title since 1999 — has a dynamic offense (83.4 ppg) game) that is in the top 15 in the country. The Tigers also excel at the free-throw line, where they shoot a lot (third overall in attempts) and make a lot (78.9%). Prolific scoring and free-throw shooting efficiency are excellent factors in March. They have been streaky at times, which has cost them in their losses.

Projected Starters: G Bryce Brown, 6-3, Jr. (16.2 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 79.4 FT%); G Mustapha Heron, 6-5, So. (16.6 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 80.7 FT%); G Jared Harper, 5-10, So. (13.7 ppg, 5.7 apg, 83.2 FT%); F Desean Murray, 6-3, Jr. (10.3 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 85.2 FT%); F Horace Spencer, 6-8, Jr. (4.5 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 54.6 FG%).

5. Clemson

Nickname: Tigers. Location: Clemson, S.C.

Record: 23-9, 11-7. Bid: ACC at-large.

Last appearance: 2011, lost to West Virginia in Round of 64.

Coach: Brad Brownell (1-4 in four appearances).

Overview: Picked to finish 13th in the ACC, the Tigers are in the tournament for the first time in seven years. They were 16-3 before F Donte Grantham was sidelined for the season. Clemson, 7-6 after the injury, will need guards Marcquise Reed and Gabe DeVoe to pick up the scoring slack. One thing the Tigers will be able to count on is their aggressive defense that makes scoring difficult for opponents.

Projected starters: G Marcquise Reed, 6-3, Jr. (15.9 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 3.4 apg, 84.7 FT%); G Gabe DeVoe, 6-3, Sr. (13.2 ppg, 4.7 rpg); G Shelton Mitchell, 6-3, Jr. (12.0 ppg, 3.5 apg, 85.3 FT%); F Elijah Thomas, 6-9, Jr. (10.8 ppg, 7.9 rpg, 2.2 bpg, 57.0 FG%); F Aamir Simms, 6-7, Fr. (3.9 ppg, 3.2 rpg).

6. TCU

Nickname: Horned Frogs. Location: Fort Worth.

Record: 21-11, 9-9. Bid: Big 12 at-large.

Last appearance: 1998, lost to Florida State in Round of 64.

Coach: Jamie Dixon (12-10 in 10 appearances).

Overview: TCU reached the NCAA tournament for the first time in 20 years behind an offense that ranked among the nation’s top 20 in six categories. Kenrich Williams’ 12 double-doubles led the way as the Horned Frogs overcame the loss of guard Jaylen Fisher in mid-January and won four of their last five games to finish the regular season before falling to Kansas State in overtime in the Big 12 tournament. TCU is especially dangerous from three-point range (40%).

Projected starters: G Alex Robinson, 6-1, Jr. (9.8 ppg, 6.1 apg); G Desmond Bane, 6-5, So. (12.8 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 47.2 3FG%); G Kenrich Williams, 6-7, Sr. (13.1 ppg, 9.3 rpg, 4.0 apg, 40.9 3FG%); F Kouat Noi, 6-7, Fr (10.3 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 42.9 3FG%); F Vladimir Brodziansky, 6-11, Sr. (15.1 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 82.0 FT%).

7. Rhode Island

Nickname: Rams. Location: Kingston.

Record: 25-7, 15-3. Bid: Atlantic-10 at-large.

Last appearance: 2017, lost to Oregon in Round of 32.

Coach: Dan Hurley (1-1 in one appearance).

Overview: The Rams were able to build a solid cushion in their run through the A-10. This was a good thing, as they stumbled down the stretch: 4-4 in their last eight, including a loss in the A-10 final. They have plenty of experience, though they’re not exceptionally big and can struggle to create one-on-one opportunities. If they’re passing well and hitting from the outside, they could stick around.

Projected starters: G E.C. Matthews, 6-5, Sr. (12.8 ppg, 3.8 rpg); G Jared Terrell, 6-3, Sr. (17.5 ppg, 3.4 rpg); G Stanford Robinson, 6-4, Sr. (9.3 ppg, 5.7 rpg); G Jeff Dowtin, 6-3, So. (9.7 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 5.6 apg); F Andre Berry, 6-8, Sr. (9.1 ppg, 4.0 rpg).

8. Seton Hall

Nickname: Pirates. Location: South Orange, N.J.

Record: 21-11, 10-8. Bid: Big East at-large.

Last appearance: 2017, lost to Arkansas in Round of 64.

Coach: Kevin Willard (0-2 in two appearances).

Overview: The Pirates are a curious bunch, looking dominant at times and completely clueless at others — often within the same game. The trials of senior wing Desi Rodriguez, the leading scorer (17.8 ppg) but relegated to the bench of late, can be viewed as the season in microcosm. It’s more than conceivable that it can all come together for a game or even two, but a deep run is hard to envision.

Projected starters: C Angel Delgado, 6-10, Sr. (13.3 ppg, 11.6 rpg); G Khadeen Carrington, 6-4, Sr. (14.9 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 4.5 apg); G Myles Powell, 6-2, So. (15.4 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 2.9 apg); G Myles Cale, 6-5, Fr. (4.4 ppg); F Michael Nzei, 6-8, Jr. (4.0 ppg, 4.1 rpg).

9. North Carolina State

Nickname: Wolfpack. Location: Raleigh.

Record: 21-11, 11-7. Bid: ACC at-large.

Last appearance: 2015, lost to Louisville in Sweet 16.

Coach: Kevin Keatts (0-2 in two appearances).

Overview: The Wolfpack surpassed expectations in their first season under Kevin Keatts, winning five of their last six games in the regular season to get into the field. A four-guard lineup with balanced scoring is keyed by Allerik Freeman. Omer Yurtseven provides strength inside and also is the team’s best three-point shooter (51.2%).

Projected starters: G Allerik Freeman, 6-3, Sr. (15.4 ppg, 4.1 rpg); G Torin Dorn, 6-5, Jr. (13.8 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 53.9 FG%); G Braxton Beverly, 6-0, Fr. (9.8 ppg, 4.0 apg, 81.6 FT%); G Markell Johnson, 6-1, So. (8.8 ppg, 7.4 apg, 41.7 3FG%); C Omer Yurtseven, 7-0, So (13.8 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 57.6 FG%, 1.9 bpg).

10. Oklahoma

Nickname: Sooners. Location: Norman.

Record: 18-13, 8-10. Bid: Big 12 at-large.

Last appearance: 2016, lost to Villanova in Final Four.

Coach: Lon Kruger (20-17 in 17 appearances).

Overview: With his astounding shooting range and feel for the game, freshman guard Trae Young leads the nation in scoring and assists — the first player to lead in both categories through a regular season — and he led the Sooners to a 14-2 start. But Young wasn’t as good in February, when the Sooners swooned, winning only one game and falling from a midseason Top 16 pick by the selection committee all the way the NCAA bubble. The overall résumé remains decent, but Oklahoma didn’t resemble a tournament team in the season’s second half.

Projected starters: G Trae Young, 6-2, Fr. (27.4 ppg, 8.8 apg, 3.9 apg, 86.1 FT%); G Kameron McGusty, 6-5, So. (8.0 ppg, 2.0 rpg); G Christian James, 6-4, Jr. (12.1 ppg, 4.3 rpg); F Kristian Doolittle, 6-7, So. (2.7 ppg, 3.0 rpg); F Khadeem Lattin, 6-9, Sr. (6.8 ppg, 6.0 rpg).

11. Arizona State

Nickname: Sun Devils. Location: Tempe.

Record: 20-11, 8-10. Bid: Pac-12 at-large.

Last appearance: 2014, lost to Texas in Round of 64.

Coach: Bobby Hurley (0-1 in one tournament appearance)

Overview: No one had a better non-conference than Arizona State, which notched wins at Kansas and against Xavier and Kansas State on neutral floors. The hot-shooting Sun Devils at one point were projected as a top-three seed. But they sputtered in conference play, struggling to finish close games. They’re not big inside and lost five of their last six, but the Sun Devils are still dangerous if they hit from long-distance.

Projected starters: G Tra Holder, 6-1, Sr. (18.4 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 3.4 apg, 84.1 FT%); G Shannon Evans II, 6-1, Sr. (16.6 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 3.5 apg, 85.3 FT%); G Kodi Justice, 6-5, Sr. (12.6 ppg, 45.7 FG%); F Romello White 6-8, Fr. (10.7 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 65.4 FG%); F Mickey Mitchell, 6-7, So. (5.7 ppg, 5.3 rpg).

11. Syracuse

Nickname: Orange. Location: Syracuse, N.Y.

Record: 20-13, 8-10. Bid: ACC at-large.

Last appearance: 2016, lost to North Carolina in Final Four.

Coach: Jim Boeheim (57-31 in 32 appearances).

Overview: The Orange squeeze into the NCAA field after narrowly missing out last season. Two years ago they made an unexpected run to the Final Four after sneaking in. However, this team will have more difficulty. While Tyus Battle brings star power, Syracuse lacks consistent offense and is a poor shooting team. Their trademark zone should keep them in games, but at some point stopping opponents won’t be enough.

Projected starters: G Tyus Battle, 6-6, So. (19.8 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 84.3 FT%); G Frank Howard, 6-5, Jr. (15.0 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 5.0 apg); F Oshae Brissett, 6-8, Fr. (14.7 ppg, 8.8 rpg); F Marek Dolezaj, 6-9, Fr. (5.2 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 52.1 FG%); C Paschal Chukwu, 7-2, Jr. (5.4 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 2.7 bpg).

12. New Mexico State

Nickname: Aggies. Location: Las Cruces.

Record: 28-5, 12-2. Bid: WAC champ.

Last appearance: 2017, lost to Baylor in Round of 64.

Coach: Chris Jans (first appearance).

Overview: In his first season in Las Cruces, Chris Jans was named WAC coach of the year, and senior forward Jemerrio Jones was named the WAC player of the year. Jones and fellow senior Zach Lofton, the leading scorer, were the driving forces for an Aggies team that upset a then-top 10 Miami team in the Diamond Head Classic, a Power Five Illinois in Chicago and earned home and away victories vs. in-state rival New Mexico in non-conference play.

Projected starters: G Zach Lofton, 6-4, Sr. (19.8 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 77 FT%); F Jemerrio Jones, 6-5, Sr. (11 ppg, 13.2 rpg, 3.1 apg, 51 FG%); F Johnathon Wilkins, 6-10, Sr. (6.3 ppg, 56 FG%); G AJ Harris, 5-9, So. (9.7 ppg, 2.9 apg); G Sidy N’Dir, 6-2, Jr. (7.9 ppg, 3 rpg).

13. College of Charleston

Nickname: Cougars. Location: Charleston, S.C.

Record: 26-7, 14-4. Bid: Colonial champ.

Last appearance: 1999, lost to Tulsa in Round of 64.

Coach: Earl Grant (first appearance).

Overview: The Cougars are in the NCAA tournament after a 19-year wait that included six losses in conference tournament title games. They will go as far as their three best players can take them. Grant Riller and fifth-year senior Joe Chealey, both first-team All-Colonial selections, form a high-scoring backcourt. F Jarrell Brantley missed the first part of the season with a knee injury but returned to be an inside presence. The prolific trio all shoot well from the free throw line, which could be critical if they’re in a close game.

Projected starters: G Grant Riller, 6-3, So. (18.7 ppg, 2.1 apg, 55.0 FG%); G Joe Chealey, 6-4, Sr. (18.5 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 3.6 apg, 86.1 FT%); G Cameron Johnson, 6-4, Sr. (8.8 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 39.5 3FG%); F Jarrell Brantley, 6-7, Jr. (17.0 ppg, 7.1 rpg, 84.1 FT%); F Nick Harris, 6-10, Jr. (6.0 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 55.3 FG%).

14. Bucknell

Nickname: Bison. Location: Lewisburg, Pa.

Record: 25-9, 16-2. Bid: Patriot League champ.

Last appearance: 2017, lost to West Virginia in Round of 64.

Coach: Nathan Davis (0-1 in one appearance).

Overview: The Bison figure to be a trendy upset pick — with good reason. They’re experienced, deep and fundamentally sound. The frontcourt probably won’t dominate the glass like they could against most Patriot League opponents, but they’re excellent passers and they know how to score in traffic.

Projected starters: F Zach Thomas, 6-7, Sr. (20.3 ppg, 9.2 rpg); C Nana Foulland, 6-10, Sr. (15.4 ppg, 7.1 rpg, 1.8 bpg, 60.0 FG%); G Stephen Brown, 5-11, Sr. (14.9 ppg, 4.3 apg, 84.2 FT%); G Kimbal Mackenzie, 6-1, Jr. (7.9 ppg, 2.2 apg, 100.0% FT%); G Avi Toomer, 6-3, So. (4.9 ppg, 83.3 FT%).

15. Iona

Nickname: Gaels. Location: New Rochelle, N.Y.

Record: 20-13, 11-7. Bid: Metro Atlantic Athletic champ.

Last appearance: 2017, lost to Oregon in Round of 64.

Coach: Tim Cluess (0-4 in four appearances).

Overview: The Gaels are in the NCAA tournament for the third consecutive season, this time after finishing fourth in the league. Five players average double figures, including Roland Griffin (10.9 ppg) and Deyshonee Much (10.8 ppg) off the bench. Much (40.4%) and Shadrac Casimir (46.3%) are accurate from three, a strength for the Gaels (31st nationally in threes made a game, 9.7; 32nd in percentage, 38.8%). Size and rebounding (-3.8 rebounding margin) could be a problem.

Projected starters: G Zach Lewis, 6-3, Sr. (9.2 ppg, 2.9 rpg); G Rickey McGill, 6-1, Jr. (13.5 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 5.6 apg); G/F E.J. Crawford, 6-6, So. (12.9 ppg, 3.5 rpg); F TK Edogi, 6-8, Sr. (7.6 ppg, 7.1 rpg, 56.7 FG%); G Shadrac Casimir, 5-10, Jr. (10.4 ppg).

16. Pennsylvania

Nickname: Quakers. Location: Philadelphia.

Record: 24-8, 12-2. Bid: Ivy champ.

Last appearance: 2007, lost to Texas A&M in Round of 64.

Coach: Steve Donahue (2-3 in three appearances).

Overview: After an iffy start to the season, the Quakers hit their stride in conference play. Penn moves the ball around well and relies heavily on the three. This team could be a trendy upset pick in the first round.

Projected starters: G Antonio Woods, 6-1, Jr. (7.7 ppg, 3.6 rpg); G Darnell Foreman, 6-1, Sr. (10.4 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 3.6 apg); G Ryan Betley, 6-5, So. (14.7 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 39.5 3PT%); F AJ Brodeur, 6-8, So. (12.6 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 53.3 FG%); C Max Rothschild, 6-8, Jr. (7.9 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 50.8 FG%).

The 2013 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament was a single-elimination tournament that involved 68 teams playing to determine the national champion of men's NCAA Division I college basketball. It began on March 19, 2013, and concluded with the championship game on April 8, 2013, at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. This was the 75th edition of the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship, dating to 1939.

The Final Four consisted of Louisville, Wichita State (second ever appearance), Syracuse (first appearance since their 2003 national championship), and Michigan, returning for the first time since the Fab Five's second appearance in 1993 (which was later vacated). By winning the West Region, Wichita State became the first #9 seed and first Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) team to reach the Final Four since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985. The last #9 seed to reach the Final Four was Penn, and the last MVC team to do so was Indiana State, both in 1979.

Louisville defeated Michigan in the championship game by a final score of 82-76, winning their first national title since 1986. They also are the last team from the original Big East Conference to win a national championship. On February 20, 2018, the NCAA vacated Louisville's entire tournament run, including its national title, due to multiple recruiting violations.^[4]

The tournament featured several notable upsets: at least one team seeded #9 through #15 won at least once in the tournament, The most notable was Florida Gulf Coast University, who made their tournament debut in only their second year of Division I eligibility. They upset Georgetown and San Diego State in their first two games, becoming the first #15 seed to advance to the regional semifinals (where they were defeated by Florida). For the first time since 2010, a #14 seed won as Harvard defeated New Mexico in the West Region. The same region saw #13 La Salle, who won in the opening round, defeat #4 Kansas State and #12 Mississippi defeat #5 Wisconsin. In addition to that, the region's top seed, Gonzaga, was defeated in the round of 32 by eventual region winner Wichita State, who defeated La Salle in the Sweet Sixteen.

Two other teams also earned their first ever NCAA Tournament victory: Ivy League champion Harvard and Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) champion North Carolina A&T. Liberty became the first 20-loss team in five years to earn an NCAA bid, having finished its season with five consecutive wins to secure the Big South championship and its automatic qualification.

For the third and final time, the Georgia Dome hosted the Final Four. The building was demolished in 2017 and replaced with Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which will host the 2020 Final Four. The tournament saw two new venues being used for the first time. The City of Arlington, halfway between former host cities Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas, hosted for the first time at what is now known as AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys. After a 19-year hiatus, the tournament returned to the city of Los Angeles, this time being played at the Staples Center, the city's major indoor sports venue, which replaced both the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena and the Forum in Inglewood. As of 2018, this is the last tournament to feature the Frank Erwin Center, The Palace of Auburn Hills, Rupp Arena or what is now the Capital One Arena in Washington. Capital One Arena is scheduled to host in 2019, and Rupp in 2021. There is no future date set for the Frank Erwin Center to host, and the Palace closed in 2017, replaced with Little Caesars Arena in downtown Detroit, which will host early round games in 2018 and 2021. As of 2018, this is also the most recent year that UD Arena has hosted games after the First Four games.

National Championship[edit]

Louisville defeated Michigan 82–76 in the championship game. The win gave Louisville its first championship since 1986, and third overall.^[21] It became the eighth school to win at least three championships.^[21] Head coach Rick Pitino became the first coach to win an NCAA championship with two different schools.^[22][a] Michigan fell to 1–5 all time in championship games (including two losses vacated because of sanctions against the university).^[21]

Michigan's Trey Burke scored seven quick points to get Michigan out to a 7–3 lead, but also picked up two quick fouls and sat during much of the first half.^[22] With Burke on the bench, Michigan got a spark from freshman Spike Albrecht, a minor role player during the regular season. Albrecht hit four straight 3-pointers en route to a 17-point first half performance, easily surpassing his previous single game best of 7.^[22] Louisville trailed Michigan 35–23 late in the first half, before going on a run fueled by four straight three-pointers by Luke Hancock.^[22] At halftime, Michigan led 38–37.^[22]

The second half featured several lead changes before Louisville pushed the margin to 10 on a three-pointer by Hancock with 3:20 remaining in the game. Michigan fought back, closing the gap to four points in the last minute, but ran out of time in its comeback effort.^[22]

Hancock hit all five three-point shots he attempted in the game and led Louisville with 22 points, while teammate Peyton Siva scored 18 and had a game high 4 steals.^[21][22] Chane Behanan pulled down 12 rebounds to go with 15 points. Burke led Michigan with 24 points.^[22]Russ Smith, Louisville's leading scorer on the season, struggled in the game, shooting 3-for-16.^[21] Hancock was named as the game's most outstanding player.^[22]

International[edit]

ESPN International held broadcast rights to the tournament outside of the United States: it produced its own broadcasts of the semi-final and championship game, called by ESPN College Basketball personalities Brad Nessler (play-by-play), Dick Vitale (analyst for the final and one semi-final), and Jay Bilas (analyst for the other semi-final).^[29] For the initial rounds, they use CBS/Turner coverage with an additional host to transition between games, with whiparound coverage similar to the CBS-only era. ESPN also has exclusive digital rights to the NCAA tournament outside of North America.^[30]

Canada[edit]

In Canada, the TSN family of media outlets (including TSN2, RDS, and TSN Radio), which are part-owned by ESPN, own broadcast rights to the tournament. TSN produces separate studio coverage with Kate Beirness, Jack Armstrong, Dan Shulman and Sam Mitchell,^[31] but simulcasts CBS/Turner game coverage for the first five rounds (and ESPN International coverage for the Final Four).

As in past years, TSN and TSN2 carry whiparound coverage (often in parallel) during the second, third and fourth rounds, in 2013 focusing when possible on games not being broadcast on CBS (as that network, but not the Turner channels, is also widely available in Canada).
