UNC defeats Michigan State 74-63 to advance to face UCLA vs. Villanova winner for all-time National Championship.
I do not usually keep the detailed stats such as who misses shots, but decided to do it for these Final 4 games. Both teams shot very well, particularly in light of how strong both defenses were (Michigan State's defense is excellent and resulted in UNC actually having a "negative" dunk range meaning now rolls in the 50s or 60s were actually dunks and a 51 roll was a "stop"). I light of this, UNC's 50% on 2-pointers along with hitting 4 of 7 three-pointers was a great offensive performance.
James Worthy had a game-high 23 points, followed by Michael Jordan with 19 and Kalin Lucas 16 to lead the Spartans. Lucas would have had 20 but Perkins rejected two of his show that we know from the dice would have gone in. Players typically steal and blocked shots by the player they are guarding, but because Jordan's steal range is 11-20, he not only steals on all six steal roles (11-16) on his man, but can steal on a 31 when any opposing player has the ball, which he did twice. Also, since Perkins block range is beyond the max 21-26 range (21-27) his one extra number is used to block the shot of the opposing PG (Lucas in this case, see advanced rules in the game for how players use extra numbers).
Michigan State did have 3 rolls in their dunk range of 51-53 during the 44 possessions of the game, and those helped them shoot higher than 50% as well, however they went only 6 of 12 from the line.

Both teams protected the ball well, though with Michigan State trying to cut UNC's 56-53 lead with 14 possessions to play, Michael Jordan came up with his first of three late steals to help UNC pull away. Even the missed free throws were usually the first of two shots, so there were very few rebounds to go around, and something I've never seen before - each team limited the other to only three offensive rebounds during our 44 possessions. Keep in mind that 13 rebounds (as well as 2 steals, 1 blocked shot and 20 points) are divided up before the game, so typically each team would have about 4 offensive rebounds during the 20-20 beginning of the game we play out. However, in this game both teams held the other to grabbing only 3 of 18 rebounds on the offensive side, half of the normal rate of roughly 1-3rd.
James Worthy was the only player on either team to grab two offensive rebounds. Matt Doherty led the game with 9 overall rebounds, Sam Perkins had a game high 3 blocked shots, and Jordan led with 4 steals.

UCLA and Bill Walton won their first 4 games in less than dominant fashion, despite of a lot of bad dice rolls. However, they were dominant against Villanova, leading 64-42 with 8 possessions left before Nova's explosive offense finally broke through to close on a 15-8 run to make the final score respectable.
Bill Walton Shot 9 of 14 (64%) and grabbed a game-high 15
rebounds, and UCLA dominated by hitting a sizzling 23 of 39 shots (59%) as a
team.
Villanova actually got up three more shots (42 to 39) than
UCLA due to Donte DiVincenzo 4 steals and Mikal Bridges 3 steals, while Omari
Spellman crashed the boards for 6 offensive rebounds. However, a day after
hitting 3-pointers to rally against Virginia in the elite 8, they could not
solve UCLA's defense, making just six 2-pointers and six 3-pointers on 12 of 42
shooting.
(Keep in mind that in addition to the stats during the 44 possessions played out, each team is credited with an extra 20 points, 13 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 foul per player and 5 turnovers per team.)

Box to follow, and Bill Walton's UCLA will face Michael Jordan's UNC in the all-time title game.
All-Time National Championship: UCLA 1972 vs. UNC 1982
The 95th of 95 games pitting the final two still standing of the 96 teams in the tournament; Bill Walton's 1972 team against Michael Jordan's title team from 10 years later. Because neither team played with a 3-point line there will be no 3-point shots in the championship game. When a team played before the 3-point line their team cards calculate 20% of their made fields goals were 3-pointers and 30% of their missed 3-pointers were 3-point attempts to put them on equal footing when playing a team from the 3-point era. However, when two teams play from the early 1980s or earlier then we do not use 3-pointers for either team.Here is the play-by-play.

Final UNC | 58 | Final UCLA | 66 |
After a tournament of so many close games, including UCLA being tied late twice and UNC needing to win on a last second shot twice, UCLA was dominant for the second straight game in the Final Four. UNC's late rally actually gave them the closet margin against UCLA in the whole tournament, but the game was in double figures up until the final shot by Matt Doherty to provide the final 66-58 losing margin.
UNC just could not get the ball to their hottest shooter James Worthy, who went 8 of 11 in the semifinal but only got free for fives shots, hitting 3 of the 5 and both free throws to finish with a very efficient 12 points.
Jimmy Black had a horrible night missing all five shots and making only 1 of 3 free throws.
Michael Jordan and Sam Perkins combined for 8 steals but the shots and got free for shots, but Jordan hit 5 of 11 and Perkins was bothered by one of the great defenders of all time in Bill Walton, and went just 5 of 17 including missing several shots after fighting for offensive rebounds. All-in-all UNC shot just 38% for the game.
However, Perkins also played great defense against Walton, holding him to 6 of 11 shooting. In actual basketball Walton shot above 65% for his career and capped UCLA's second straight undefeated championship team in 1973 by going 21 of 22 from the field, resulting in ESPN calling that team the 3rd greatest team ever and the 1972 squad we played in the game the best team ever. While UCLA hit 10 of 11 free throws, UNC's tough defense held them to 47% shooting, however the next box shows the problem ...

With five steals from Perkins and three from Jordan UNC won the turnover ball the turnover battle 15-9. However, UCLA dominated the board 45-27 including 17 offensive boards to just 18 defensive boards for UNC, meaning when UCLA did miss they were almost as likely to grab the miss as UNC was - thus getting 2nd, 3rd and even 4th shots.
