2013 Louisville players settle lawsuit with NCAA

The Louisville players suing the NCAA for the restoration of their 2013 national championship records have reached a settlement.

The 2013 national title banner will not be returning to the KFC Yum Center, but the NCAA will be restoring the tournament records of the players involved in the suit — Luke Hancock, Gorgui Dieng, Stephan Van Treese, Tim Henderson and Mike Marra. This means that Henderson officially drained a pair of monster threes against Wichita State in the national semifinals, and Hancock is once again “officially” the Most Outstanding Player of the 2013 Final Four.

“We have certainly been supportive of our student-athletes and their quest to be recognized for all of the work they invested and success they earned at UofL,” Louisville athletic director Vince Tyra said in a statement.
