No. 1 Connecticut has rolled through the NCAA Tournament, and the Huskies will look to repeat as the champions when they face National Player of the Year Zach Edey and Purdue in the title game on Monday night in Glendale, Ariz.

Connecticut has an 11-game winning streak in the NCAA Tournament and has won each of those games by double-figures, an NCAA record

The Huskies beat Alabama, 86-72, win in the Final Four on Saturday night. Freshman Stephon Castle had 21 points for UConn, which is shooting for its sixth national title program history.

After losing in first round of last year's NCAA Tournament, the Boilermakers have been on a mission to capture the national title. Edey scored 20 points and had 12 rebounds to lead the Boilermakers past upstart N.C State, 63-50, in their Final Four matchup.

Edey is the first Purdue player to earn back-to-back consensus first-team honors since Rick Mount in 1969 and 1970. Edey, Mount and Terry Dischinger (1961, 1962) are the only two-time consensus first-team All-Americans in school history.
