1982 Georgetown

In what everyone thought was a sure-fire first national championship for Coach John Thompson and the Hoyas, Fred Brown inexplicably made an errant pass in the closing seconds with Georgetown up one on North Carolina and it was intercepted by James Worthy. The rest is history as the Tar Heels had just come down, with Michael Jordan hitting the game-winning shot and his legend beginning. Despite the disappointing finish, this Hoyas team was extremely powerful and featured a dynamite duo with Eric "Sleepy" Floyd dominating the outside and a young Patrick Ewing patrolling the post. Not many teams can compete with this one.
