One of the absolute best UNC games ever! Rest in peace Dean Smith and God bless everyone
Watching this after hearing of the passing of Eric Montross hits differently now 😢. RIP big man. Reunited in eternity with Coach Smith and Coach Guthridge.
And after this game, instead of going back to Chapel Hill with the rest of the team to take part in the victory celebration, he flew up to Philadelphia to recruit the number one recruit in the high school class of 1993, a big man named Rasheed Wallace. Sheed said the fact that he did that really resonated with him and that’s what influenced him to become a Tar Heel, joining Jeff McInnis and Jerry Stackhouse who had already signed their LOI’s.
RIP Dean Smith.
RIP Eric Montross 💔🪦🥺😭🙏
How did we ever watch these games without the score pinned to the screen? Hard to keep up with scores back then.
I was working at a mall's food-court in New Orleans when THIS Final 4 happened. I remember seeing two EXTREMELY TALL GENTS come to our restaurant and order. Lovely Gents, very calm and respectful.
They were CHRIS WEBBER and JUWAN HOWARD.
Had I only known who they were...
ONE OF THE BEST FINALS GAMES EVER!!

Webber's a good guy. I'm a Heels fan so I was glad for the win but in the end we saw that freshmen play like freshmen at inexplicable times.
he was a sophomore. Nice hard-hitting analysis, though..
What everyone seems to forget about the end of this monumental game:
1. Carolina was in the lead, not behind, when Webber tried to call the timeout.
2. Carolina had only 3 team fouls. Had Webber not tried to call timeout, the Heels could have easily run down a lot of clock with a lead by fouling 4 straight times. There were only 19 seconds on the clock when he got the rebound of Sullivan's miss of the back end of the one-and-one, and only 11 seconds left when he signaled timeout.
3. Lynch and Phelps, with only 11 seconds left, had Webber pinned in the corner with nowhere to go. This is why he tried to call the timeout.
4. Speaking of timeouts, Webber had also tried to call one at the other end as soon as he got the rebound. However, the referee, Jim Stupin, purposefully looked away, knowing the Wolverines were out of timeouts, because he "wanted to give the kid a break." (He was asked about this later, and those were his words.) This caused him to miss the obvious travel, which everyone else watching who had any basketball knowledge whatsoever didn't fail to notice.
never heard this before.
Nice insight. Helps explain the obvious miss on the travel
So here we are 28 years to the day. Great job Tarheels and Coach Smith
Glad I got to grow up with late 80's through early to mid 00's college hoops. The experience/level of continuity of some of these top teams from that era was unique. Michigan had it by 1993 but this UNC team was a Dean Smith special; understated excellence. Went 34-4, spent basically the entire year in the Top 5 yet is somewhat forgotten. Shows the cultural influence of the Big 5. Temple had their chances to take out Michigan in the West regional final. Depth and foul trouble took their toll on the Owls the last 5 minutes.
Those UNC warm up jackets are ridiculous....lol
I wonder if Rob Pelinka backstabbed his Wolverine teammates here too........
After Duke wins back to back titles, thanks Tar Heels for getting this one.
Best 3-year run ever.
My cousin D.Williams #MVP
I'll never forget His Performance down the stretch. Not just the 50 points in the Final Four, but also the clutch shots against Arkansas and Cincinatti in the Regionals.
He was one of the few shooters who didn’t throw up a bunch of bricks in the final four for Carolina in the 90’s. That’s why they only got to the championship game in 93 despite going to the final four 4 other times in the 90’s cause guys like Rick Fox, Dante Calabria and Shammond Williams couldn’t buy a bucket in the final four.
Carried the Heels in the tournament.
A marksman!!
He had a great game
Who's watching during Coronavirus? Ahh Chris. Much love brother!
You know what's ironic about this 1993 Championship game? North Carolina. Superdome. 1982: Fred Brown's stunning giveaway to James Worthy. Same location. 1993: Now this.
Same end of the floor too
The Carolina bench when Webber travels...
This game was awesome!
Chris webber ruined it
@@lynnraymer8210Not really he made it legendary. I never held the timeout against him, it was anyone's game. He played with so much passion and swagger he's the reason they got that far in the first place. Shout out to C. Webb
Ref was right there. He gave Michigan a gift when he didn't call travelling on Webber.
And the Wolverines giveth right back when Webber made the ill-fated time out call.
Wow Michigan looked undisciplined.
Footwork, hustle, passing, shooting, boxing out, etc could've all been much better just by putting in the time.
They were all freshmen. Experience (and defense) wins championships.
@@agFinder2*sophomores
@@maxpeck4154 thanks! All these years I've been wrong about that lolol.
@@agFinder2 hehe I gotta stop and think about it sometimes myself. I had just turned 16 a few weeks before this game. It's been a minute!
On one hand I was excited for the heels, but on the other hand I felt sorry for Webber, seeing as he ended up being the goat for the Fab Five.
Not me. They were all jackasses at Michigan.
Screw Webber..he was being paid, cheater, he traveled, no call,...Heels Win...
RIP Chris Webber
?
Did anyone notice that the ref blatantly saw the travel but had no knowledge to call it. Imagine this, if Webber doesn't call the timeout and if Michigan scores then that call would have played as the worst call in basketball.
Now, if you watch the Fab Five documentary they explained the entire sequence. As Webber grabbed the rebound you can see Michigan backup PG #14 Mike Talley putting up the timeout signal before Chris dribbled the ball toward the Michigan bench which caused confusion because as he came to the bench he shouted "TIMEOUT!!!" and Webber heard it which was instinctive to put up the timeout signal.
This has psychologically damaged Webber to this day and you feel for him because he was the man responsible for leading his team to the title game. Now, he distanced himself from the other Fab Five member because of this moment. I hope someday he can find it in his heart to let go of the pain and finally find some closure.
I feel bad for him too. He just had a brain fart at the worst possible time.
Webber isn't estranged because of the TO, it's because he threw Ed Martin under the bus
Mistakes can be forgiven, but it's a lot harder to forgive disloyalty
I actually wished they'd have called the travel and Chris would not have had to go through that heartbreaking moment. I felt bad for him at that podium and watching him go to the tunnel.
This carry over to the rigged 2002 Western conference finals vs the Lakers in which Webber refused to take over the game in game 7 and the Kings folded under pressure.
@@erichall3090 The Ref had his back to Weber. He never saw the walk.
The intro is everything
One of the least athletic UNC teams you'll ever see. But it was a collection of very good and very smart basketball players who played within themselves. Savvy players up and down the bench. Beautiful to see.
Yup - I remember Dean Smith saying afterwards "we aren't the best team, aren't the most talented team, but we are the national champions."
This Carolina team is a classic example of the whole unit being greater than the sum of their individual parts.
crazy year. Michigan had the more talented team and should have won this game. But i am happy coach smith was able to get this 2nd chip, proving he can win with a team that doesnt have jordan and worthy.
Those were the years. Michigan in Championship Game in 1989, 1992, 1993. Duke in the Championship Game in 1990, 1991, 1992, 1994 (plus the Final Four in 1986, 1988, 1989). North Carolina in the Final Four in 1991, 1993. UNLV in the Final Four in 1987, 1990, 1991. Kansas in the Final Four in 1986, 1988, 1991, 1993.
How the ref missed that travel call by Webber at the end if beyond me.
Well he called the timeout so that made up for the missed call smh
@@gregroycampbele5880 He actually looks like he is trying to call a timeout when he travels. My dad was such a Fab Five homer. I loved when the ACC took down the Fab Five in 1992 AND 1993. Down go the Fab Five AGAIN.
I heard that the ref saw Webber start to signal timeout and the ref knew that Michigan didn’t have any so he turned his head so Webber couldn’t get his attention and that’s why Webber got away with the travel. He was trying to help Webber.
@@JenniMeer Great story.. I think it is correct. I hate that Webber had to deal with the ramifications of the time out but he always had a cockiness on the court and that can sometimes come back to bite someone as God humbles all of us.
It all come down how the ball bounces
well coached game by Dean Smith
I'm from Michigan but this was the biggest choke of all time
LOL @ all the delusional Michigan fans commenting on this about how they were the better team. If you dunces were the better team you'd have won the game. Instead, you got torched by Williams and your best player had a mental meltdown in crunch time. The truth is that Michigan couldn't win this game and they haven't won jack since. And now Webber (a great player and the only member of the Fab Five worth the hype) has to deal with getting sandbagged by his "friends" in a 30 for 30.
Christian P Schneider how many of those Carolina players were nba all stars, 0. so michigan had the better team. most of the Carolina didn't last past 3 yrs in the nba
I think Michigan was slightly the better team but i think this 93 unc team was better than people give it credit. They were ranked in the top 10 all year long and had i believe had three mcdonald all Americans.
On paper they were pretty much evenly matched. It really is a shame that the game ended the way it did however if the ref had just done his job in the first place, the technical foul would have never happened and UNC would have just sealed it at the free throw line
Yep! Weber walked big time.
Jonathan c all of their starters were McDonald’s all Americans plus Matt Wenstrom on the bench. And a redshirt player Serge Zwikker
Lord, Billy Packer, that man just talks talks talks....interrupting Nance at every turn when something happened in this game...I bet Nance was ready to just punch him. Do not miss him doing games at all.
I do. He was enjoyable when I grew up listening to him and Jim.
If you look closely at the closing sequence, Webber attempted to call time out, BEFORE he traveled and called the infamous timeout. The referee looked right at him motioning for a timeout and ignored it
this north carolina team does not get enough credit for being a very good team. it had no superstars, but the great leadership of george lynch. the strong inside play of eric montross and the clutch shooting of donald williams. everyone knew their role.
RIP Eric Montross and Tina Turner.
LMFAO I never thought I'd ever hear those two names in the same sentence. Yes RIP and respect to both but still funny to read.
Montross had a decent rookie season with the Celtics, and then went on to play a total of 8 NBA seasons, despite some truly horrible stats.
Watching this game NEVER gets old. The Fab Five needed some (more) humble pie.
As Bill Walton said, (I’m paraphrasing) “For a team that hasn’t won squat, they sure have undeserved swag”.
If Michigan and North Carolina play ten times, UNC probably wins seven of those games.
UNC had the better (more disciplined and more experienced) TEAM and the (infinitely) better coaching staff.
The last time Michigan played North Carolina they blew them out
And they beat them in the regular season
@@gregorycampbell1432 they beat UNC on a last second tip in during the regular season UNC wins 7/10
If anything, blame Michael Talley
AntiMTVMovement or Webber and his lack of awareness
Just an interesting tidbit, Jalen Rose takes a shot at 1:46:39 while UNC is celebrating. Thanks for sharing, especially pre-game and post game.
Yeah, I saw that! 😀
9:47- Coach K didn't get where he got by betting against a Dean Smith coached team. Ever.
Give the ball to the PG kids.
Point guard needs to come back to the ball. Jalen Rose didn’t aggressively come to it like he was supposed to
@@sickofguysnamedtodd2293 FACTS. The "point guard" if you consider Jalen a point guard didn't come back to the ball
Dang Michigan missed a lot of point blank shots! It wasn’t just the timeout that lost this game.
Michigan, after a series of lackluster performances in this tournament, finally played a complete game in the Final Four semi-final against Kentucky (yet still escaped by the skin of their teeth).
However, in the final against North Carolina, they only put together two ~5 minute stretches of championship basketball.
That didn't get it done against a Tar Heel team that doesn't beat itself.
1:41:00 - the irony is that Michigan actually would have had a better chance had that travel by Webber been called. About 7 more seconds on the clock, and only 2 free throws for North Carolina instead of 4 ... game ain't over by a long shot. That timeout Michigan did not have effectively ended the game right then and there.
UNC TARHEELS DID NOT RUN OUT OF TIMEOUTS BABY!!!!!!!!
New Orleans had crowned very good champions in years past...
1982 - North Carolina
1987 - Indiana
1993 - North Carolina @ 1:46:27
2003 - Syracuse *
2012 - Kentucky
* My favorite college team.
Kansas was at 3 of those, no rings
@@TheRainmaker5179 But they broke the (what I call) "New Orleans curse" back in 2022. Finally winning the National Championship over North Carolina. #RockChalkJayhawk
Bet that was a fun ride back to Michigan. 🤣🤣🤣
Why do people even make a big deal about the timeout? He travelled; its NC ball right there. Forget the timeout and whose fault it was or wasn't. He walked and got away with one so the timeout just was karma; stopped the game when it should have already been stopped.
You know actually if they called the travel, it would have been better for Michigan than the timeout. There's no free throw penalty with the travel, there would have been more time left on the clock. Michigan would have had to foul and hope for a miss and possibly still had a chance at a tying 3. If no ft miss, score quick and play the foul game but they're still sorta in it.
@@billny33 odds were against them
14:25 We've had breakaway rims for quite some time. Who cares if a player hangs on the rim? The rule was put in place only to protect the basket when we didn't have breakaway rims. It is an anachronistic rule that should be abolished.
Billy Packer is an idiot.
The next year when Michigan played Arkansas in the tournament one of the Arkansas players got a technical for hanging on the rim but he did it to protect a Michigan player who had fallen underneath the basket and most likely would’ve gotten landed on had he let go of the rim.
@ 2:04 dean smith back at the same place he won the national title in 1982
Both by the opposition mistake. North Carolina best teams were 1997, 1995, 1982 (won title)
It wasn’t so much a Webber mistake as it was great UNC defense that won that game in tne last 20 seconds
If Sullivan makes the second free throw they are down three but Weber doesn't call the timeout more than likely because the ball would be Jalens hands. Not saying they would have won but would have interesting.
Apparently I am the first one to comment about this, and I also waited so long to post about this, but RIP Tina Turner. 😢😢😢😢😢😢
This was a great game
New record...travel double dribble technical all in 6 seconds
Game starts at 14:00
2nd half starts at 1:04:41.
Love both teams but that the Michigan team has to take the lead and championship. Kinngkilo
1:43:54 unc tarheels mens basketball court
Fab 5 took Carolina for granted and the better team ended up winning
a case of good beats evil
StFidjnr i wouldn't say all of that now
That kind of takes credit away from unc to say Michigan took them for granted. Plus if they were the better team they should have by more if they did take them lightly. I would say they were about even and unc just mad more plays down the stretch. Plus the weber to didn't help.
Michigan really wasn’t leaps and bounds better or anything. The matchup they had earlier in the season they only one by one point on a put back by Jalen Rose at the buzzer.
@@sickofguysnamedtodd2293 thank you people forget about that earlier matchup when they let those idiotic statements come out their mouth when they mention Michigan was the better team and michigan should not have lost. EVENLY MATCHED!!
1:40:40
@ 16:13 the packer points for the 1993 national title game
Worst way to end a championship game.
Seems like college basketball went away from those warm-ups uniforms hopefully college brings it back
Man, look at that 3 point line. Are you kidding me? No one shot have attempted a 2 point shot in this game.
This game was in 1993. In 1983 the three point line was 18 feet!!! A midrange jumper was a 3 pointer. In those days the game was played inside/out
Tarheels!
If there was a Mt. Rushmore for college basketball coaches, Dean Smith would certainly be on it. Wooden, Smith, Krzyzewski and then....not sure about the fourth one. Many would say Bobby Knight but his inability to reign in his temper makes him less than a great sportsman in my book.
It’s great to live in North Carolina, which has more men’s NCAA basketball championships than any other state besides California. And N.C. Is the only state that has at least three schools with multiple championships. North Carolina has six, Duke has five and North Carolina State has two.
Probably Roy Williams
UNC actually has 7. That 1924 championship counts too.
@@sickofguysnamedtodd2293 Yes, but it is not an NCAA Championship.
@@maa7332 Is Roy Williams a great coach or a great recruiter?? 15 years at Kansas and he won nothing there
Adolph Rupp with Kentucky. 4 National Titles.
@ 17:33 the extra packer point
1:41:06 the Infamous Timeout
He looked like he was going to call timeout before he traveled cris webber caused Michigan a nation championship
0:25.
Michigan worried about their long shorts and black socks!
Michigan seemed tired, did they party the night before?
@ 2:36 that's what they are playing for
Sum of those fouls they were call'n was a lil suspect!!!I'm jus say'n..
The Carolina bench at 1:41:02 🤣🤣🤣
billy packer was the worst
6:57 :/
how come james voskhuil on michigan is wearing adidas and michigan is sponsered by nike
Back then they weren't sponsored by either. Russell Athletic actually made their jerseys. Nike wouldn't start officially sponsoring Michigan until a few years later. Today, Michigan is Adidas however.
TIME OUT!!!!
+starkmj TRAVELLING!!!111111
Jeff fisher got out coached plain and simple
Jeffery Hendrix you mean Steve Fisher?
Robert Teague yeah I don’t know why I got wrote jeff lol
Jeffery Hendrix probably cause if you’re a football fan you’re used to seeing him get out coached too.
Robert Teague 😂
Corona have me watching reruns
I hate this game. No way Michigan was supposed to lose to this team. I remember Donald Williams was torching Jalen Rose.
Out coached!
On paper Michigan was the better team but the Tar Heels were a classic case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.
They were evenly matched teams. They played earlier that season and Michigan won on a last second tip in to beat UNC by 1. No they were not "SUPPOSE" to win
Jimmy King is the most underrated player from the fab five he was a great player 👏
I hate UNC with a passion I'm a blue devil though that's why , but that win wasn't well earned
R.I.P Dean Smith , can't forget the legendary coach .
When coach k croaks, so does your program. So sdfu.
no wonder Jordan Ploense that billy packer said for people not living in the tarheel state called unc tarheels mens college basketball home arena the smith center but if the people living in north Carolina they call it the dean dome
Rhonda Jones No need to be a jerk. He said he can't forget Dean Smith. Even though he doesn't like UNC
just like a dook player to say something like that, I bet the last two games UNC beat dook in 2022 were well earned, just saying
Michigan should have easily won this game
Ha. Says no one. Michigan was lucky to even get here.
@@MGAF688 they beat north Carolina in the regular season so how are they lucky to get their?
No game against Dean Smith was ever easy.
