(AP) -- By the time the streamers started falling from the Georgia Dome, one team stood apart from the others that came to the Final Four.

When all was said and done, the Louisville Cardinals distanced themselves from their Atlanta competition - both on the court, and in the UPS Team Performance Index.

With a gritty resiliency that could not be measured by just a boxscore, Louisville used a pair of double-digit comebacks at the Final Four to power it to its third national championship Monday night. In the process, it moved up to fifth in the final UPS Index of the season, further separating it from Michigan, Syracuse and Wichita State.
