The Cardinals competed in the Big East Conference and were coached by Rick Pitino. This was his twelfth season as head coach of Louisville.

Big East

The Cardinals opened Big East play with four victories, and were voted #1 in both AP and Coaches Polls in week 10.[12] They then dropped three straight, a 2-point home loss to #6 Syracuse and back to back road losses at Villanova and Georgetown. The Cardinals won 10 of their next 11 with the one loss at Notre Dame in a 5 OT game that is the longest regular season game in Big East history.[13] They finished the regular season with a 26–5 (14–4) record and claimed a three way tie with Georgetown and Marquette as Big East Regular Season Champions.

Junior guard Russ Smith was named a Sporting News Third Team All-American.[14] Senior co-captain Peyton Siva was named 2013 American Eagle Outfitters BIG EAST Men's Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year.[15] Junior Gorgui Dieng was named 2013 Big East Defensive Player of the Year.[16] Smith and Dieng were named to the 2013 All-Big East First team. Siva was named to the All-Big East Third Team.

Post season

Big East Tournament

The Cardinal were the #2 seed in the tournament and faced Villanova in the quarter finals, defeating them 74-55.[17] They next defeated #24 Notre Dame 69-57[18] setting up the final Big East Tournament Championship game against #19 Syracuse. Louisville was down by 16 in the second half, but rallied to claim their 3rd Big East Tournament Championship with a 78-61 victory. The Cardinals repeated as tournament champions.[19]

NCAA Tournament

Louisville received the #1 overall seed in the Midwest Region of the NCAA Tournament.[20] 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. They defeated Oregon in the regional semi-final 77-69 to set up a regional final with Duke, who they had lost to in the season opening tournament. 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.
