Luke Hancock named Final Four Most Outstanding Player

Some might say Luke Hancock won the national title game for the Louisville Cardinals. Others might say he simply saved it for them.

With the game in danger of getting out of reach Monday night, Hancock went on a shooting spree for the ages, scoring 14 straight points for the Cardinals late in the first half as part of a run that turned a 12-point deficit into a one-point lead.

Louisville went on to defeat Michigan 82-76 for the national title. Hancock went 5 for 5 from 3-point range and finished with 22 points to add to his 20 from the national semifinal. He was named the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player, the first reserve to take that award, according to the NCAA.
