ATLANTA — The unlikeliest Most Outstanding Player in Final Four history snakes his way around boisterous, delirious men, women and children inside the JW Marriott ballroom early Tuesday morning, stopping exactly 36 times to pose for pictures or sign autographs.
"Damn," sighs an exasperated Luke Hancock, wearing a crooked national title hat and admittedly overwhelmed by newfound fame that the 23-year-old won't shake the rest of his life. Hours after becoming the first non-starter in NCAA history to win the MOP award, he puts his arm around a USA TODAY Sports reporter, urging him and girlfriend Kaycee Loucka to follow the Louisville junior through a sea of fans celebrating their first national title since 1986.
