Duke defeated Fab Five-led Michigan 71–51 to become the sixth school to repeat as national champions and were the last to repeat until the Florida Gators in 2006 and 2007.
This marked the first of what is currently four consecutive losses in the national championship game for the Wolverines, as Michigan would lose in the championship game again in 1993, as well as in 2013 and 2018. Though this game and the 1993 title game would later be vacated by Michigan due to issues found with the eligibility of Chris Webber in the University of Michigan basketball scandal.
