Last night saw the official end of this year's NCAA March Madness tournament from the men's side and for a second year running the UConn Huskies are the kings of March.
Dan Hurley's squad claimed a national title with a 75 to 60 victory over the Purdue Boilermakers becoming the first repeat champs since Florida back in 2006 and 2007 and the first win back to back title games by double digits since the UCLA teams of old.
The Huskies made everything look easy from the beginning posting a new NCAA record plus 140 point differential for the entire tournament.
