Cardinals won the NCAA Tournament champions, defeating Crum's alma mater, UCLA, 59–54. Crum's 1980 national champions have been credited with popularizing the High-5. Six years later, Louisville would overcome Duke 72–69 for a second title led by "Never Nervous" Pervis Ellison. Crum is one of only 11 coaches to win multiple national championships. In 30 seasons, Crum took the Cardinals to 23 NCAA tournaments, posting an overall record of 43–21. While in the Metro Conference, the Cardinals won 12 regular season titles and 11 tournament championships. In its 19 years seasons, Louisville finished 1st or 2nd 17 times.
