Louisville will honor the 10th anniversary of the 2012-13 national championship team this Saturday when the Cardinals host Clemson. Those attending the game may notice a new addition hanging from the rafters inside the KFC Yum Center.

There’s certainly a part of me that would have loved to see us get as ridiculous and petty as possible and go with “Team That Won the Final Game of the 2012-13 College Basketball Season” or some shit, but I doubt the players would have shared in the appreciation of the humor.
