Hell, Maryland had Len Bias and Tony Massenburg and could only finish 6th.

Agreed. There were some great games during that time. Carolina started 15-0 that year, but finished 13-6 over their last 19 games and actually lost to Maryland in the ACC tourney before losing to Louisville in the sweet sixteen.
