UConn vs. Purdue final score: How the Huskies repeated championships and became college basketball’s greatest team.

Slate  

The UConn Huskies are dynastic through whatever lens you prefer. Last year’s team was nearly as dominant, cruising past every team it faced in March Madness and beating an overmatched Cinderella, San Diego State, by 17 in the title game. But any power-conference team can get good enough to make a Final Four run sometime, and it’s never been more clear that UConn is the team to try to fake. Every program in college sports is at risk of becoming a blank slate every year now, but UConn doesn’t feel that way as long as Hurley is around. And those pundits wouldn’t even be wrong, except UConn is so much better than everyone else now that its casual walks to the national championship have become captivating.
