Dean Smith won his first NCAA crown by leading North Carolina to its second title in school history, beating Georgetown 63-62. A freshman named Michael Jordan delivered the game winning jumper with 17 seconds and Fred Brown turned the ball over in the waning seconds - in one of the biggest late mistakes in tournament history.

48 Teams, No Third Place Game

The 1982 NCAA men's tournament included 48 schools and went from March 11-29 with the Final Four being played in the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans. It was the first event to not play out the third place game, which had been added for the 1947 tournament.

No. 1 Seed In East

Smith's North Carolina Tar Heels entered the tourney as a number one seed in the East with the likes of freshman Michael Jordan, James Worthy and Sam Perkins. Carolina was hungry all season to win the title after losing the 1981 final to Isiah Thomas and Indiana. And UNC was looking for its first crown since 1957. And Smith was hoping to finally cut down the nets after six previous trips to the Final Four

Less Than Dominating Into Final

Despite being the number one seed, Smith's team did not have an easy time in reaching the Final Four in Louisiana. After a first round bye, UNC needed to hold on to beat James Madison 52-50 in the second round. Worthy carried the Heels past Alabama 74-69 in the Sweet 16 and Carolina notched its biggest victory in the Elite Eight, 70-60 over Villanova. And then Smith and UNC knocked off Houston in the national semifinals.
