By KATE STANTON, UPI.com

Oh, what could have been.

Louisville beat Michigan in Monday's NCAA championship, but an Amazon.com book advertisement would have you think otherwise.

As Fox Sports Detroit reported Wednesday, the Detroit Free Press had a commemorative book prepared for publication in case Michigan won the championship.

On sale for $10.17, the book is titled "Blue Heaven: The A-Maizing Story of the Michigan Wolverines' Return to Glory--and Their Second NCAA Title!"

The description reads:

This commemorative book on Michigan’s 2013 NCAA men’s basketball championship provides a visual account of the Wolverines’ road to glory. Through unique words and images from Michigan’s largest newspaper, the Detroit Free Press, this celebratory book takes readers from the season’s first games in November and on through the exciting 2012–2013 season, the Big Ten tournament, and the road to the Final Four in Atlanta. Including more than 100 color photographs and featuring stars Trey Burke, Tim Hardaway, Jr., and Glen Robinson III and head coach John Beilein, this keepsake book is an essential part of any fan’s collection.

The newspaper's digital managing editor apologized in the Discussions section of the ad, calling it a "mistake."

The Free Press had prepared a fantastic book to publish should Michigan win the national title, and an error with our book publisher caused the promotion for the book to be displayed on Amazon. Our publisher is working with Amazon to make sure it gets removed. Hopefully at this time next year, however, we WILL be publishing either a book on Michigan or Michigan State winning the 2014 national title!
