The Louisville Cardinals men's and women's basketball teams will be grand marshals for the 2013 Republic Bank Pegasus Parade. 

The Kentucky Derby Festival began a social media campaign earlier this week to attract the teams—as the men's team won the NCAA national championship and the women's team played in the title game.

The University of Louisville will celebrate the men's basketball national championship and the women's team's surprising appearance in the national title game at 5 this afternoon at the KFC Yum! Center. 

Here's ticket information:
