Steve Fisher's Wolverines opened the 1991-1992 campaign at No. 20 in the preseason AP Poll, and most of that buzz came from a recruiting haul people were already calling the greatest class of all time. Jalen Rose, Chris Webber, Juwan Howard, Ray Jackson and Jimmy King wound up holding all five starting spots, and Michigan closed the regular season 20-8. That record earned a #6 seed in the Southeast Region.
Quick wins over Temple and East Tennessee State sent the young squad to the Sweet 16, where a three-point margin against #2 Oklahoma State set up a regional final with hated rival Ohio State, the #1 seed. The Fab Five outlasted Jim Jackson's Buckeyes 75-71 in overtime.
Nick Van Exel's Cincinnati Bearcats fell next, putting Michigan in the national title game against defending champion Duke. The Blue Devils pulled away after halftime, but a #6 seed had already made its point.
"We had a great season. There will never be a freshman class that will do that again." -Chris Webber
