FROM THE PAGES OF SI

APRIL 12, 1993

"Monday night's defeat of Michigan seemed at first blush to be the work not of any sentient hand, but of déjà voodoo. Then again, maybe it wasn't; maybe North Carolina caused Webber's gaffe. Early in the second half, in what seemed to be a meaningless incident, Phelps and Lynch sandwiched Jalen Rose, denying him a simple inbounds pass from teammate Juwan Howard. To avoid a five-second violation, Howard had to burn a timeout—the one Webber will forever wish had been there to call at the end."
