The 1985-86 Navy Midshipmen were led by one of the most dominant centers in the history of college basketball, David Robinson. He was not a one-man team however; forward Vernon Butler became the first player to have his jersey retired and when he graduated he was the school's career leader in points and rebounds. Point guard Doug Wojcik was a skilled passer and still holds most Navy assist records. Navy fell just short of the Final Four this season, losing to Duke in the East Regional Final. In a memorable second-round upset, Robinson outclassed Syracuse star Rony Siekaly holding a 35-4 advantage in points. While this team did not win a championship, Robinson's presence makes it a scary team for any opponent.
