Good morning from the ABC Action News team.
After a week of events, games and celebrations, UConn rose to the top on Sunday, winning its 12th national championship at Amalie Arena in Tampa. The team dominated defending champion South Carolina, ending with a score of 82-59. Now, we can shift our focus entirely to the Florida Gators, who will take on the Houston Cougars tonight in the men's NCAA Tournament championship. If they can pull it off, it will be the first time the University of Florida has won a national championship since 2007, their second in a row after also claiming victory in 2006.
