How the 2023 men's national championship matchup will play out

HOUSTON -- The entire season has come down to this: UConn and San Diego State will play for the national title, just like everyone expected.

By "everyone," we of course mean the 0.04% of brackets in ESPN's Men's Tournament Challenge that picked the Huskies to face the Aztecs in the final. To the owners of those 7,201 brackets, well done. As for the rest of us, some 20 million strong, we at least get what should be a great game to watch. Enjoy and remember.

On Monday night, the 4-seeded Huskies will play for their fifth championship -- and their first since 2014 (also won in the state of Texas, it should be noted).
