The 2024 men's college basketball tournament concluded on Monday night, with UConn defeating Purdue by the final score of 75-60 in the title game. Although the Boilermakers only trailed by six points at the half, head coach Dan Hurley's team pulled away over the final 20 minutes of action.
The Huskies earned their sixth national championship as well as their second title under Hurley. UConn also became the first team to win back-to-back national championships since Florida in 2006 and 2007.
With March Madness over, it's time to take a look back on the tournament with the latest edition of "One Shining Moment."
The video featured several memorable games and performances, such as the dominance of center Donovan Clingan during the Huskies' title run. While they fell just short, the Boilermakers and 2024 Naismith Men's College Player of the Year Zach Edey strung together an impressive series of wins in order to earn a spot in the championship game.
Sharpshooter Jack Gohlke helped No. 14 seed Oakland secure a surprising first-round upset victory over Kentucky, while burly forward DJ Burns Jr. led No. 11 seed NC State to its first Final Four appearance since 1983. Alabama was headlined by senior guard Mark Sears, with the Crimson Tide earning their own spot in the Final Four by winning hard-fought games over Clemson and North Carolina.
The 2024 NCAA tournament is in the books, with Clingan hoisting the trophy in the final shot of the video.
