BASKETBALL
UConn easily beat Purdue 75-60 to win the Men’s NCAA championship. With the win, UConn became the first repeat champions since the 2006-2007 Florida Gators. Purdue’s 7’4″ powerhouse Zach Edey looked unstoppable at the beginning of the evening, but by halftime, the Huskies surged ahead and never looked back. UConn now has 6 national titles, which ties them for the third-most national championships in NCAA history.
The TV ratings for the women’s national championship are impressive. 18.7 million people tuned in to watch South Carolina beat Iowa on Sunday, the largest audience for a basketball game (college or pro) since 2019.
