Sixty four games have been played. And we’re down to the final two teams. It doesn’t always come down to the two best teams but this year it does. Purdue and UConn have probably been the two best teams all year. UConn is trying to defend it’s title and become the first school since Florida to repeat. Purdue is trying to do what UVA did a few years back: The second number 1 seed to lose in the first round and come back and win the whole thing the next year. This game is also somewhat of a throwback because each team has a really good big man.
My rankings give Purdue the slightest edge:
| Higher Seed | Lower Seed | Chance of winning |
|---|---|---|
| (1) UConn | (1) Purdue | 49.76% |
My gut says UConn pulls away late.
