The National Championship eluded Dean Smith and the University of North
Carolina in six previous trips to the Final Four, and this year Smith
pinned his hopes on a talented core that featured such stars as Michael
Jordan, Sam Perkins, James Worthy, and Matt Doherty. The Georgetown
Hoyas had their own star-studded lineup featuring Patrick Ewing, Eric
"Sleepy" Floyd and Fred Brown, with their own National Championship
dreams.In a back and forth game, UNC found themselves down late in
the championship game once again. With under a minute to play, Sleepy
Floyd knocked down a jumper to give the Hoyas a 62-61 lead and force
Carolina to call a timeout. With the championship about to escape Smith
for the seventh time, he called on the heroics of his star sophomore,
Michael Jordan. With 15 seconds left to play, Jordan hit a jump shot
from the left side to give the Tar Heels a 63-62 lead. The
Hoyas had one last chance and hoped to steal the title from UNC when
Fred Brown looked to pass the ball to teammate Floyd at half court, but
instead passed it directly to James Worthy. Worthy's steal, along with
his 28-point effort sealed the victory for the Tar Heels. Dean Smith's
seventh Final Four trip was a charm and the University of North
Carolina Tar Heel's were NCAA National Champions.
