If you’re among the fortunate few whose brackets remain intact, you’re just a step away from perfection.
Perdue and UConn are set to clash Monday night in the 2024 NCAA Tournament championship game. In many respects, it feels like this matchup was destined to happen.
The UConn Huskies held the top ranking in their conference and are the reigning champions, while Purdue’s Boilermakers also secured a top seed in their conference. While UConn is favored by oddsmakers, March Madness is known for its unpredictability.
