UConn Wins Back-to-Back NCAA Championships: Huskies Continue Dominant Run, Thwarting Purdue for 6th Title

UConn is the first NCAA Tournament winner to repeat as champion since Florida in 2006-07.

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. In the end, UConn's systematic dominance carried the day, as the Huskies left no doubt over who the best team was in college basketball during the 2023-24 season.
