After losing to Duke in the 1992 NCAA Championship, the Michigan men’s basketball team known as the Fab Five achieved the impressive feat of returning to the championship game for a second straight year in 1993. They put up a formidable fight against North Carolina for 39 minutes and 49 seconds of play, at which point they trailed by just two points. The final eleven seconds proved to be disastrous, though, as forward Chris Webber got tied up by multiple Tar Heel defenders and attempted to call a timeout despite the fact that Michigan had no timeouts remaining. This resulted in a technical foul and a turnover that sealed the win for UNC.
