Forwards Joe Wolf (6 11), Dave Popson (6 10), centers Brad Daugherty (7ft), Warren Martin (7ft), freshmen McDonalds all-americans Jeff Lebo, Kevin Madden and Steve Bucknall. On paper, this team should have on a championship but for some reason, finished the season poorly and got knocked out in the sweet sixteen.

It's amazing how good the ACC was during that time. The 86 UNC team wasn't even the best team in the ACC that year. Both Duke and GT were better. Duke had Dawkins, Amaker, Alarie, Ferry, King, Bilas, etc. GT had Mark Price, John Salley, Hammonds, and Duane Ferrell, NC State had Del Negro, Nate McMillan, Chucky Brown, and Charles Shackleford. Hell, Maryland had Len Bias and Tony Massenburg and could only finish 6th.
