ATLANTA (AP) a' Chane Behanan won nine fast items early in the second half to greatly help Louisville take a 58-54 guide over Michigan with 10 minutes left in the national title game Monday night. Behanan had 13 points for the game and Luke Hancock went 4-for-4 from 3-point range to lead the Cardinals (34-5) with 16 points, as the clubs geared up for the stretch run of a, back-and-forth game. Michigan newcomer Spike Albrecht came in for Player of the Entire Year Trey Burke and produced his first four 3-point attempts to lead the Wolverines with 17 items. Albrecht finally missed with a little more than 11 minutes left; he was still 9 for 10 from long range for the competition. Burke, in early foul trouble, had eight second-half points and 14 for the game. He was also ideal (3 for 3) from 3-point range. Hancock made all four of his 3-pointers to start out a 14-1 run for Louisville that briefly gave a lead to the Cardinals late in the very first half when they trailed by 12. Michigan's Glenn Robinson III made two free throws with 2 seconds left to offer the Wolverines the guide at the half but Louisville led by as many as five early in the next. The Cardinals (34-5) have won six games in 2013 after trailing by 10 or more, including Saturday night's semifinals, once they beat Wichita State 72-68 after also falling behind by 12. It was shaping up as a scintillating ultimate act of a season that's been more of a work, with score at its lowest (67.49 points per group) since 1951-52 and firing at its worst (43.3 percent) since 1964-65. The 131.2-points-per-game average throughout March Madness is the lowest since the 3-point line was brought to the game in 1987, though the teams were on speed to easily exceed that after the first half. "Look at the story lines out there," Beilein said within a quick meeting at halftime. "It is going to be one of the best activities ever." Seeing from the stands were all five members of the Fab Five, the brash band of sophomores who light emitting diode Michigan (31-7) to the closing in 1993 a the program's last look at the Final Four. That involved Chris Webber, who infamously called a timeout the Wolverines didn't have at the end of Michigan's 77-71 damage to Vermont in the 1993 final. He's had almost no related to his alma mater recently, but was seen leaving his car and heading in to the Georgia Dome shortly before tip-off. Top-seeded Louisville is attempting to bring its first subject back again to their state of Kentucky's "other" school since 1986. Sitting on the counter with the Cardinals is sophomore guard Kevin Ware, the team's inspiration since snapping his leg in the regional final last weekend. Cardinals coach Rick Pitino is performing the sideline hours after being opted for for the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame. Pitino is trying to end up being the first coach to lead two plans to national titles. He took Kentucky to the title in 1996. Russ Smith, the Louisville group leader who Pitino has nicknamed "Russdiculous" for a few of his wild a' and extremely successful a' antics on the court, results 18.9 points a game for the Cardinals during the year but has picked up the rating in the match, calculating 25 in the five Louisville wins. The Cardinals are playing without their primary hold, Ware, who broke his leg in the local final against Duke. Needing a pickup without Ware, Hancock led the scoring against Wichita State. And seldom applied walk-on Tim Henderson made two key 3-pointers during the recovery. "The other evening, we were not likely to play in the title game unless a ways up and makes a play to provide momentum," Pitino to us explained in a pregame interview. Michigan topped Syracuse 61-56 on Saturday despite an evening from Burke, who finished with only seven items on 1-for-8 firing. Burke, a, severely considered leaving for the NBA after last time but decided he had unfinished business left in Ann Arbor. He is now one win far from the best prize in college hoops, and found the AP Player of the Season award, amongst others.
