Who is favored to win the national championship?

The UConn Huskies are seven-point favorites to defeat the Purdue Boilermakers in the national championship on Monday.

Although Purdue is the underdog, the Boilermakers feel confident they can pull off the upset to get the win.

"There’s pressure every game when you’re the team that we are and everybody always gives us their best shot," Purdue point guard Braden Smith said (via Yahoo). "We’re here for a reason. We worked really hard to be here and I think we’ve done a great job to put ourselves in this position and hopefully make history and bring home a championship."

UConn, however, believes it can succeed if it manages to take Zach Edey out of the game.

"A lot of their offense goes through Edey and if we can do as much as we can to pressure the ball and cause turnovers and limit Edey’s touches, we’re going to be successful," UConn point guard Stephon Castle said.

"It all starts on the ball with disrupting the passes and not letting them get looks and it’s a job that me, Tristen [Newton] and Cam [Spencer] have to do to set the tone early...

"We know how dominant Edey's been all year but we believe in [Clingan] and he's going to have a great game. I feel like they match up pretty well and if they can cancel each other out, then we'll win the battles on the perimeter."
