The game was evenly matched throughout. However, with 17 seconds left in the clock, and the Tar Heels losing by 1 point, Michael Jordan made the game-winning shot, 63-62. Georgetown ran all the way to the end of the court, and began to bide their time, hoping to take a last-second shot to end the game. However, guard Fred Brown was being guarded too tightly to take a shot, and he mistakenly passed the ball to James Worthy. Worthy was then immediately fouled. Even though he missed both free throws, it didn't matter. Georgetown had no timeouts left, and they lost the game. Georgetown would eventually win the Championship Game in 1984, against Phi Slamma Jamma, led by Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler, but the 1982 game would be remembered by Jordan's shot and Brown's turnover.
