Yahoo Sports Purdue vs. UConn: Odds for March Madness NCAA National Championship Game
Everything comes down to tonight. A season of expectation for UConn has culminated in a national championship appearance yet again. A season of redemption for Purdue has gone all according to plan, but will it end in victory? According to oddsmakers, no siree.
Of course, the odds aren't the end all and be all. While both Purdue and UConn have been favorites in every game they've played this tournament, we know that upsets are synonymous with March Madness. Purdue has several advantages, most notably, the best player on the floor in Zach Edey.
Edey is the back-to-back men's college basketball player of the year and if his Boilermakers want any hope of winning a championship and putting their loss to Fairleigh Dickinson a year ago behind them, Edey must have the greatest game of his career.
UConn is looking to become the first back-to-back champion in 17 years, but nothing matters if they cannot win tonight.
Here are the championship game's odds, per BetMGM.
March Madness: Alabama proved it's possible to hang with UConn. Could Purdue actually finish the Huskies?
