The last college basketball game of the season could end on a high note.
With South Carolina defeating Iowa in the women's national championship game on Sunday to complete a rare undefeated season, the attention now shifts to the men's final.
And just like the women's final featured two No. 1 seeds battling it out, so will the men's matchup.
No. 1 UConn will seek to defend its title win from last year against No. 1 Purdue, who are seeking to avenge last season's early upset loss with a championship triumph.
