UConn Form
UConn go in search of back-to-back National Championship Games riding a 12-game win streak.
The Huskies, who won it all last year, have been on a tear since the 85-66 defeat at Creighton during the regular season.
They responded to that loss by winning their final four regular season games, and continued their streak in the Big East tournament.
UConn beat Xavier 87-60 and St John’s (NY) 95-90 on their way to the final, where they beat Marquette 73-57 to claim the conference tournament crown.
The Huskies then embarked on a string of blowout wins during their run to the final in the national tournament.
They blew out Stetson 91-52, Northwestern 74-58, San Diego State 82-52 Illinois 77-52 to set up a Final Four clash with Alabama.
UConn then made straightforward work of the Crimson Tide in that one, running out 86-72 winners.
Purdue Form
Purdue have put their conference tournament disappointment firmly behind them over the past few weeks, winning five straight games.
The Boilermakers closed out their regular season campaign by winning each of their final five games.
They took that win streak to six with a 67-62 victory over Michigan State in the quarter-finals of the Big Ten tournament.
However, Purdue’s run was brought to a shuddering halt in the semi-finals, as they suffered a shock 76-75 overtime defeat at the hands of Wisconsin.
The Boilermakers responded well at the start of March Madness though, as they cruised the first two rounds with a 78-50 blowout of Grambling State and a 106-67 demolition of Utah.
They then took down Gonzaga in the Sweet Sixteen, 80-68, before downing Tennessee in the Elite Eight, 72-66.
Purdue took on surprise package NC State in the Final Four, and they booked their place in the National Championship Game with a 63-50 victory.
Verdict
UConn have been racking up wins and covers all season long.
They have been the dominant force in college basketball and it would be foolish to oppose them in the biggest game.
