Purdue led most of the game, but UCLA made a comeback in the second half and tied the score at 67-67 with a minute left in regulation. Purdue had a chance to win the game but missed a shot at the buzzer, sending the game into overtime.

In overtime, UCLA took control of the game and outscored Purdue 11-2 to win their third consecutive NCAA championship with a final score of 92-72. UCLA's Lew Alcindor (later known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) had a dominant performance with 37 points and 20 rebounds and was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player.

The win solidified UCLA's dynasty in college basketball as they went on to win seven consecutive NCAA championships from 1967 to 1973.
