The Connecticut Huskies cruised to a sixth NCAA championship after beating Zach Edey’s Purdue 75-60.
Despite Edey’s 37-point double-double, UConn’s strong second half led them to a back-to-back NCAA title.
Here’s how several NBA players reacted to the Final.

Job Well Done 35! You did your job tonight. It was him that made Edey quit with about 19 mins to go in the 2nd half. There was a turnover and I saw Edey body language walking back. He was done. Now rewatch the game from that point on. #FreeGame
