Trailing 79-76 with under a minute remaining in overtime, Terry Mills hit a turnaround 11-footer to cut the Seton Hall lead to 79-78. After a defensive stop, Gerald Greene fouled Rumeal Robinson with three seconds left in overtime. Robinson made both free throws and after Seton Hall's last-second shot came up short, Michigan won its first national championship.[1]
