Five freshman starters changed college basketball in '92, and the Fab Five came back a year older with the #1 ranking and a target on their backs. Michigan rolled to 26-4 in the regular season and never dropped below #7 in in the polls. A 86-84 escape against #9 UCLA in the West Region kept the run alive, then wins over George Washington and Temple sent the Wolverines to another Final Four.
Kentucky and Jamal Mashburn stood in the way. Michigan won that overtime thriller 81-78 to reach a second straight National Championship game, where Dean Smith and North Carolina took the title 77-71. No banner came out of it, yet those two years in Ann Arbor left the most influential mark college hoops has seen.
"We were unique and genuine and we wanted to express that. We didn't want someone else to define who we were." -Jimmy King
