Zach Edey described Monday night's national title matchup between Purdue and UConn as 'the game everybody wants to see.' John Fanta previews the highly-anticipated 'Clash of the Titans.'

It's 34-4 Purdue. The best team in college basketball all year seeking to repeat as national champs on one side, and the two-time national player of the year leading a program making its first national title game appearance since 1969 on the other.

To win the national championship, then to be back in this position, I think there's a lot of things that come with ultimate success that's hard to do what they've been able to do. To be able to piece a team together, be able to compete and win multiple championships in their conference, in the tournament, and to keep that focus.
