NextImg:The under-the-radar reasons that propelled UConn and Purdue to the title game, and what it means Monday night

There have not been many games in 7-foot-2 Donovan Clingan’s career where he has been looking up at his opponent.

Such will be the case at 9:20 p.m. tonight when UConn’s center will be giving two inches to Purdue center Zach Edey in the feature matchup of the men’s basketball national championship game. It’s a throwback battle of bigs that could make Patrick Ewing and Hakeem Olajuwon proud.

But as Clingan and Edey grab the headlines — like this one from The Post’s basketball guru Zach Braziller, on-site in Phoenix — as easily as they grab rebounds, here’s a reminder of five other storylines in the works during the rare matchup of two No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament final.

1️⃣ White, gray and navy blue (blood): With a win, UConn will move past Duke and Indiana and into a tie with North Carolina for No. 3 all-time in men’s basketball with six national championships.
