Donovan Clingan and UConn face off with Zach Edey and Purdue in a battle of post players for the NCAA Tournament men’s national championship on Monday, April 8. The game will be live streamed on Sling (half off first month) and DirecTV Stream (free trial).

The Boilermakers (34-4) have won five games by an average of 19.6 points, including the 63-50 win against N.C. State in the national semifinals. The only close call was battling from 11 down before halftime to beat Tennessee 72-66 — behind 40 points from 7-foot-4 star Edey — to clinch the program’s first Final Four trip since 1980.

Now they’re in their first title game since their only other appearance, a 1969 loss to Wooden’s Bruins, and Edey will have to tangle with 7-2 defensive force Donovan Clingan.

UConn (36-3) has looked like a runaway train from before the first game in its push to become the first men’s team to repeat as national champions since Florida in 2006 and 2007, and become only the third program to become a repeat winner since UCLA’s run of seven straight under John Wooden from 1967-73.

Last year, UConn became the fifth title winner since the 1985 expansion to win all six games by double-digit margins, the closest coming by 13 points. This year, the No. 1 overall seed has been even more dominant; the Huskies’ closest game was Saturday night’s 86-72 win against Alabama, and they’ve won five games by a combined 125 points — an average of 25 per night.

When is UConn-Purdue?

The UConn-Purdue game is set for 8:20 p.m. (9:20 p.m. ET) on Monday, April 8.
