NCAA Division I Men's Tournaments «2012 2014»

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,^[a] 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.

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 schedule 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.

Final Four – Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Georgia

During the Final Four round, the champion of the top overall top seed's region was to play against the champion of the fourth-ranked top seed's region, and the champion of the second overall top seed's region was to play against the champion of the third-ranked top seed's region.^[17] Louisville (placed in the Midwest Regional) was selected as the top overall seed, and Gonzaga (in the West Regional) was named as the final top seed.^[18] Thus, the Midwest champion played the West Champion in one semifinal game, and the South Champion faced the East Champion in the other semifinal game.

Wichita State surprised the college basketball world by reaching the Final Four from the West region. They lost to Louisville in the first semifinal game, 72–68. Michigan defeated Syracuse 61–56 in the second semifinal.^[19]

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]

March Madness studio analyst Charles Barkley and Dick Vitale were among the guests who appeared.^[24]

International

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

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).
