On April 4th, 1994, the NCAA Division 1 Men's Basketball Championship game was battled out in Charlotte Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina. In a match-up of the first seeded Arkansas Razorbacks and the number two seeded Duke Blue Devils, this title game lived up to the hype as the Razorbacks squeaked past the Blue Devils, 76-72, to claim their first national championship in school history.

The Duke Blue Devils were making their 7th title game appearance and were playing in front of what was virtually a home crowd, creating very difficult odds for the Arkansas Razorbacks to overcome. However, with strong leadership from Head Coach Nolan Richardson and a Most Outstanding Player performance from Corliss Williamson, the Razorbacks were heavily armed and ready to battle the Blue Devils for their shot at the national title.
