Purdue is 34-4

Connecticut is 36-3

All season long they have been the two best teams in college basketball, with Houston a close third. It is not often that the two best teams make it to the national title game because of the gauntlet that is the NCAA Tournament, but that is what we have on Monday night as the Boilermakers and Huskies will face off with a championship on the line.

If Purdue wins its first national championship in approximately 48 hours there will be no question it was earned:

- It will have beaten a true juggernaut in UConn, the defending national champion going for the first consecutive titles in 17 years -

It will have won 16 Tier 1 NET games.

- It will have beaten the other three teams in the Final Four since it has now beaten NC State and Alabama
