Houston and Louisville also advanced to the Final Four in New Orleans that year. With 17 seconds remaining, freshman Michael Jordan of UNC scored the game-winning shot. For a deeper look at the 1982 March Madness bracket, click or touch here. Michael Jordan was the only player from that year's team still on campus when Houston played Louisville in the semifinals of the 1983 National Championship Game. Houston lost that game too, but it was clear by then that Jordan was going to be very difficult to stop with a full court press. He went on to become one of the greatest players in NBA history. After his short career at UNCHouston ended in 1990, he immediately turned out for the Chicago Bulls, where he helped bring an end to the Milwaukee Bucks' long run of winning seasons. By the time he retired after the 1997-98 season, he had already won six NBA championships. During his eight years in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Michael Jordan made the NCAA Tournament every year and won three national titles. His presence alone could have given Houston a chance in any game they played against him. But even without him, Houston would have been able to advance further than it did in '82 because of all the other talent on its roster at any given time. In fact, no one on that team finished below third place in the ACC during those years.
