The 2024 March Madness tournament concluded with the University of Connecticut (UConn) clinching
the championship, defeating Purdue, and becoming the first team to achieve back-to-back national titles
since 2006-07. Purdue, led by Zach Edey, advanced to the final but fell short against UConn. In sports
business news, Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore's bid to acquire the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx
collapsed as owner Glen Taylor decided not to sell the teams, influenced by the increased value of the
Timberwolves. In professional sports, LeBron James showcased his longevity by scoring 40 points for the
Los Angeles Lakers in a victory over the Brooklyn Nets, joining Michael Jordan as the only players with
multiple 40-point games after the age of 39. Lastly, coached by Dan Hurley, the UConn Huskies displayed
a dominant performance throughout the tournament, resembling the versatile offensive style of the Kevin
Durant-era Golden State Warriors.
