The 1969 NCAA University Division Basketball Championship Game was the finals of the 1969 NCAA University Division basketball tournament and it determined the national champion for the 1968-69 NCAA University Division men's basketball season. The game was played on March 22, 1969, at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky. It featured the two-time defending national champion UCLA Bruins of the Pacific-8 Conference, and the Purdue Boilermakers of the Big Ten Conference.
The Bruins blew out the Boilermakers to win their third of seven consecutive national championships, becoming the first (and to date, only) team to ever three-peat as national champions.
This was Purdue's last appearance in the championship game until 2024.
