Final Four ✅ Thank you for following along with us all weekend long as we’ve taken you from Radio Row through the National Championship Game. We’ll see you next season. P.s. 209 days until college basketball returns (but who’s counting) #MFinalFour | @Blaze_Sports

Huskies defend their crown and no one ever came close. Ridiculous stuff from Dan Hurley and the Huskies. @HeatCheck_Show

.@RileyMSwenson is looking at Maui next year. Which means this game is over.

Clingan picks up his 4th but it doesn't matter at this point. Huskies up by 17 and are 7:52 away from a repeat National Championship. Complete dominance. @HeatCheck_Show

Just showed Bill Murray and Jim Calhoun. It might actually be.

Feels like UConn is just too much for Purdue...up 13 at the U12. They have been the best team since November, and are showing it on the biggest stage tonight. Boilers might need a miracle. @HeatCheck_Show

Samson Johnson is playing out of his mind right now...Purdue needs an answer quick. Huskies look unbeatable. @HeatCheck_Show

U16 and Clingan picks up his 3rd. Likely Samson Johnson time as UConn has stretched the lead to 9. Boilers need a run now before this one slips away. Also, Tristen Newton has been fantastic tonight. @HeatCheck_Show

UConn leads by 6 and takes momentum into the break. Outside of Edey and Smith, the Boilers look lost. Purdue has the best player, but right now UConn has the best team. Should be a fantastic 2nd half. @HeatCheck_Show

I think Braden Smith saw my tweet...5 straight for him and the Boilers are back within 2. Whichever team can take some momentum into the locker room will be huge. Fantastic game here in the desert. @HeatCheck_Show

U4: The best three point shooting team in the country has only attempted one. Gotta think Painter starts getting his guys open from deep. UConn guards winning that battle right now, one they needed to. @HeatCheck_Show

Caleb Furst in the game for Purdue replacing Edey...Painter trying to steal some minutes. Can't imagine Edey stays on the bench long. @HeatCheck_Show

U8: We've got a ballgame folks. This is the point where the conditioning of Clingan really gets tested. Likely needs to play the last 6:50 of the half as Johnson sits with 2 fouls. #MFinalFour | @HeatCheck_Show

Fletcher Loyer can't finish in transition, gets caught behind the play and Diarra cashes in with a corner three. Not the tempo Purdue wants to play at. @HeatCheck_Show

Huge second foul on Johnson, Clingan back in with a foul of his own. Massive, massive situation for the UConn bigs brewing. @HeatCheck_Show

U12 Huskies up by 2. Boilers with an O board and then a foul on UConn before the break...Dan Hurley is on fire. How far do the refs let him go tonight on this big of a stage? @HeatCheck_Show | #MFinalFour

Edey goes left hand, Clingan fouls and the bucket. Samson Johnson in for the first time tonight and UConn elects to double on Edey. The chess match continues. @HeatCheck_Show

Under 12 -- so far, Charmin (@scott_sandulli)

U16 and this one is every bit as good as we could've hoped. Cam Spencer is killing Purdue right now on dribble handoffs, what adjustment does Matt Painter make? On the other end Edey can go to his left hand whenever he wants...is he willing to do so though? @HeatCheck_Show
