ICYMI: Men’s Final Four
Last night, the last standing men’s teams battled it out on the court to try to earn their spot in the championship game on Monday, but only two prevailed.
In the first game, Purdue ultimately stymied N.C. State’s Cinderella story and knocked out the 11-seed to advance to the championship. The Boilermakers held a steady lead throughout the entire game, proving their worth as a top seed.
Then UConn and Alabama went back and forth on the court in a tough match that saw No. 1 UConn advance to the championship game, sending the No. 4 Crimson Tide back down South.
On Monday, we’ll see a battle of No. 1 seeds in Glendale, Arizona, and some real on-court talent from rising stars Zach Edey and Grant Nelson. While UConn has a bit of an edge, according to the bookmakers, it could be anyone’s game.
