Graham was kicked off the team the following year. He did not play the following two years. If he could have stayed out of trouble G-town would have won the NCAA's the following also, but Hey! things happen for a reason.

"the inferior Hoyas"?

Now you're not making any sense at all.

Having the lead while the clock is still running isn't the same as winning the game once it's over. Nor is it a guarantee of that. Do you really believe "some kind of play to pull out the win" was impossible for Georgetown or Michigan without those gaffes? I don't. Just can't help but notice that the 2 titles coach Smith did get both involved major late game miscues from the opposition. Georgetown & Michigan beat themselves, as far as I'm concerned. Not impressed with coach Smith's 2 titles.

And against Mich, UNC was already up when Webber called the timeout and Michigan was going to have to make some type of play to pull that one out too. Plus, Webber should've never gotten a chance to try that timeout as he traveled before that and got away with it. The Smith coached UNC teams were way too disciplined that the inferior Hoyas and Wolverines, and it showed.

Those two UNC games you are referring to were already in hand for UNC as they had the lead when the other two teams made mistakes. UNC had the lead against Georgetown and the Hoyas were going to have to make some kind of play to pull out the win before they threw it away.

Those 80's Georgetown teams were tuff ass mothafuckas they'd smother ur ass on D !!!!!

[Fakename70]

Yeah, Graham was a beast, but a 1-hit wonder. G'Town REALLY missed him against 'Nova in '85.

[Fakename70]

Regarding teams that "should've won more", I think Dean Smith's entire career could fall into that category. Especially in light of the 2 titles he got were at the expense of major last minute gaffes by a player from the other side. But 3 championship games for coach Thompson in Ewing's 4 years is still pretty good.

Great college matchup between the big guys - the Nigerian Akeem Olajuwon and the Jamaican Patrick Ewing. Hey, whatever happen to the sky-jumping Michael Graham (the ball-headed Georgetown swingman)? Someone did tell me that he flunked out of college the following year.
