one of the smartest collection of players I've ever seen. Really high IQ basketball team

I couldn't stand Montross a native of Indiana going to UNC. I grew up in Ohio that looked at as the worst.

That team was stacked that year.

It was a Sunday.

@@vinceedwards575 Thank you for the accurate reply. I obviously DON’T remember this game as well as I thought I did.😂 Rest in peace, Eric Montross.

@@molipaul Heels beat Arkansas on Friday night to advance to the Regional Finals on Sunday

Lol. I wanna say Fox did it when they got the Nfl

I'll never get over this loss as a fan of the program & Bob Huggins one of the most heartbreaking losses. When Gibson tied it I thought the Cats were gonna win. :(

Nick Van Exel should have won this game

I completely agree

They hadem by 12 or whatever n letem back in the game then Van Excel cooled off smh

The forgotten chapter of Cincinnati heartbreak. First round AD Jackson tore his knee. We will never know if Donald Williams hits those threes with ad on him, or a fresher nve or Tarrance gibson

Coach Smith did a lot of rotating in that game, that's what helped, if you have good depth you have extra "weapons".

Van Exel had no solid backup after AD Jackson's injury in first round. Rat Gibson was the teams mvp the whole tournament but he gave up the Williams OT threes. Would AD have done a better job? God only knows.

Phelps was an outstanding defender.

Hey man no pun intended, but how were u 2 know that Michigan would play down a level after taking out Mashburn and Kentucky! Michigan was the best team and they let a Carolina team not even close to some of the historically lasting Tar Hole teams outplay them in the final! Had the real Fab Five we'd seen much of that season show up on championship Monday, they'd have blown Carolina out of the Superdome! I was 21 at that time, and to this very day now that I'm fastly approaching 50, still believe '93 Michigan is the best that didn't win it! Only a handful of teams in their category of not winning it all in the 40 years I've been watching the tournament, but the Fab Five is at the top without a title

@@bradlewis6514 I love how this UNC team gets absolutely no respect. People saying that Michigan was the vastly superior team, and should have blown out this UNC team in the Final didn't watch this UNC team the whole year. I might remind you, that they played one another at the beginning of the year in the old Rainbow Classic, and it took a last second shot by Jalen Rose to win the game by just one point. So, it's not like they even exerted "their vastly superior talent" even then. By using the "Tar Hole" reference, I can only assume you are a UNC hater....but this UNC team was WAY better than most people gave them credit for. This UNC team came back from 21 down to win against a VERY good FSU team this same season. They were a very smart team, that kept their poise, had great leadership in George Lynch, were extremely fundamentally sound and experienced, and well, had Dean Smith on the sidelines. No doubt the Fab Five were good, but UNC did something they didn't in the Final, they kept their poise, made the big shots, and showed it takes more than just superior talent to win.

Yes, Michigan had talent with the fab five BUT, they literally never won even a big ten title even, they weren't the best team in their respected conference. Yet, they played well in March, but Carolina was the better team. George Lynch was blue collar, Donald Williams was an assassin from deep. Extremely deep team, hard working team. I can't stand UNC but I'm a fan of George lynch and his toughness.

I think UNC was lucky that Mich. UK game went overtime. I do think Michigan was a bit more tired. And UNC had a deeper bench...

Also on Duke--Grant Hill was injured...

It makes me sad that Huggins never won a National Championship at UC had the worst tournament luck I’ve ever seen.

@@patrickgray5633 I definitely agree...

it’s been on youtube

yes, as a Carolina fan...Henderson doesn't get hurt, Hoosiers probably win. They were the ones we were worried about.

@@MrCleverheel I don't think so. I think UNC (finally) beats Knight and Indiana...but thank goodness Kansas did it.

It's a fact that IU should have won in 1992 if not for TV Teddy Valentine

I understand what your saying as a big fan of Coach Huggins. Disappointing sure however you have to look at what has Cincinnati done since he was fired tell the truth he didn’t resign he was fired. They have been to the Sweet 16 1 time that witch Nancy not only fired one of the best coaches to ever coach she sent Cincinnati hoops down the crapper. Andy Kennedy was interim head coach got robbed of a NCAA appearance then he left for Ole Miss that doesn’t happen in College Hoops. Interim coach does well he stays & gets his shot so that tells you how bad Kennedy knew it was gonna get. They haven’t recovered since while Huggins has taken another school to the Final 4. He got the last laugh & Nancy should have had the guts to stay after firing Huggins you stay you don’t fire the biggest person at a University call for change then leave.

Dusty T coach smith overrated as game coach. 2 titles in 36 years with 2-3 top 20 recruits every year. Booo

@@joannerogers6852 He coached through the Wooden era. Had that not happened he woulda gotten another one. He knew how to get to the Final 4. I swear--Calabria doesn't foul Arkansas down 1--UNC wins that game and then the NCAA championship in 95! nagging...

The Tar Holes would not have won the national championship without his otherworldly outer body shooting experience! His perimeter game was mostly responsible for 4 of Carolina's six games run thru the bracket

And also for Michigan playing down a level in the finals! Their underachieving performance let Carolina in that game all night long! Had the more than capable Fab Five shown up, they win that game by at least 10-15 points! The Tar Holes were so extremely fortunate, key word being EXTREMELY

Jamell Shaw they were hurt when ad jackson was hurt in the first game. Van exel had no backup and got tired.

I think Michigan beats both...Carolina had the size and a specific shooter in Donald Williams to give them problems, just like Duke and Bobby Hurley did.

By then they were lucky to even force ot. By then they had no legs and too many fouls. Erik Martin's foul out hurt.

@@bearcattony00 yup but that's unfortunately the way the game goes.

Gibson aka Rat gave up the Williams threes and according to Huggs book, took the loss the hardest.

Huggs had AD Jackson go down in first round giving Nick no backup. Zelle wasn't ready yet. Of course 2000 was Kenyon and then 2010 Desean Butler after dirty foul by Duke.

He upset that great UK team in 2010. I actually saw that game in person. WVU hits like 8 threes to start the game? UK can't hit a single three...one of the strangest games I've ever seen...

Van exel getting tired since he had no other guard help after ad Jackson's injury against coppin was a huge factor. He had no legs by ot.

but Paul Evereklian the buzzer sounded while the ball is still in the player's hand

The way the Cats made Jim Voskuil look like Larry Bird in the final four, God only knows

@@StFidjnr they said the buzzer sounded after the ball left--and I think it does--but the buzzer was wrong! Ball's in hand at 0:00--I think they got better technology now...I hope...

If they had ad Jackson they win going away
