UConn dominates Purdue to capture back-to-back national championships

The Connecticut Huskies are back on top for the second consecutive season after dominating the Purdue Boilermakers, 75-60, in the NCAA men’s basketball national championship game Monday night. Not only have the Huskies won 12 straight NCAA tournament games, but they kept their streak of defeating their opponents by double digits alive, showcasing how lethal their team is on the court. This is the sixth NCAA men’s basketball title for the school, with the last two under head coach Dan Hurley.

The game started off as a bout between Edey and Clingan down low as both players battled for position in the paint and the points on the scoreboard went back and forth. The Huskies only held a six-point lead when halftime came around, but Purdue had too much time in between points, which ultimately became a huge factor in the second half. UConn’s lead quickly extended when Newton opened scoring in the second with his three-pointer to make it 39-30.
