Louisville received the #1 overall seed in the Midwest Region of the NCAA Tournament.[19] They opened the tournament with a 79-48 win over North Carolina A&T, setting the NCAA tournament single game record for steals with 20. They closed out the opening weekend by defeating Colorado State 82-56.

Before halftime of the game Louisville guard Kevin Ware suffered a compound fracture. The Cardinals rallied together to defeat Duke by 22 (the largest tournament defeat for coach Mike Krzyzewski since the 1990 National Title Game), 85-63.
The Cardinals advanced to their second consecutive Final Four (their 10th) to face Wichita State. The Shockers led most of the game, and were up by as many as 12 with 13 minutes to play. A 20-point performance by Luke Hancock, and two timely 3-point shots by walk-on Tim Henderson kept the Cardinals in the game, which they won 72-68 to advance to face Michigan in the National Championship.
In its third NCAA Championship game Louisville went down 12 points. The Cardinals rallied behind a 22-point effort by Final Four MOP Luke Hancock, 18 points and 5 assists from senior captain Peyton Siva, and 15 points and 12 rebounds from sophomore Chane Behanan to win 82-76, giving Louisville basketball its third NCAA Championship and giving coach Rick Pitino his first title at Louisville.
