The top-seeded Purdue will face defending champions UConn for tonight's championship title. The game starts at 9:20 p.m. ET.
Purdue, fresh off its first Final Four appearance in 44 years, has its sights set on its first NCAA tournament victory.In the end, the South Carolina Gamecocks came out victorious, 87-75, capping off an undefeated season with the ultimate trophy and a 38-0 record. “It speaks to the credit of what the coaching staff does — they’ve constructed a beautiful team, as we see,” UConn forward Alex Karaban said.
One more win would put this year’s No. 1 overall tournament seed in rare company, becoming the first team to win a repeat NCAA title since Florida did it in 2006 and 2007. It would also make the Huskies only the third to do so since UCLA’s run of seven straight championships under John Wooden from 1967-73, the other being Duke in 1991 and 1992 under Mike Krzyzewski.
