"UConn's Defensive Dominance: A Modern Dynasty's Back-to-Back Title Win"
TL;DR
UConn's defensive strategy to play Purdue's Zach Edey one-on-one in the post and limit their 3-point shooting paid off in their 75-60 national championship win. Despite Edey scoring 37 points, Purdue made just one 3-pointer all night, while UConn's guards refused to leave their assignments and their big man Donovan Clingan's shot-blocking presence spooked opponents. UConn's relentless defensive effort and attention to detail throughout the tournament led to their dominant victory.
