UConn players celebrates after defeating Purdue in the NCAA Tournament title game to win their second consecutive national championship on Monday night in Glendale, Ariz. UConn has won 12 consecutive NCAA Tournament games, none by fewer than 13 points. GLENDALE, Ariz. — UConn delivered the latest of its suffocating basketball beatdowns Monday night, smothering Purdue for a 75-60 victory to become the first team since 2007 to capture back-to-back national championships.
UConn won its sixth overall title and joined the 2006-07 Florida Gators and the 1991-92 Duke Blue Devils as just the third team to repeat since John Wooden’s UCLA dynasty of the 1960s and ’70s. The 2024 Huskies are the sixth team to win all six tournament games by double-digit margins. They won those games by a grand total of 140 points, blowing past the previous high of 121 by the 2009 North Carolina team for the highest margin among that exclusive club.
How serious was Coach Dan Hurley about defending the perimeter? When Braden Smith wiggled loose for a semi-open look to make Purdue’s first 3-pointer of the game with 2:17 left in the first half, the coach bolted onto the floor and called timeout.Edey battled gamely, finishing with 10 rebounds to record his 30th double-double of the season. But this game proved the number crunchers right.
