UConn is the first NCAA Tournament winner to repeat as champion since Florida in 2006-07.
The victory marked UConn's 12th straight double-digit win in NCAA Tournament action, a streak of historic dominance that dates back to the beginning of last year's tournament.
Purdue held serve early behind a heavy dose of two-time Naismith Award winner Zach Edey, but the Boilermakers couldn't keep pace as the Huskies took away their perimeter punch. On the interior, UConn relied heavily on 7-foot-2 center Donovan Clingan to defend the 7-4 Edey who closed his career with a big offensive night, his efficiency waned after a 6 of 9 start.
