Bill Murray hoisted the NCAA trophy on stage after UConn's 75-60 win over Purdue in the national championship game on Monday.

Murray joined the celebrations for the second straight year as his son and UConn assistant coach, Luke Murray, helped the Huskies cap off a dominant tournament run with their sixth title in program history.

The Ghostbusters star shared a moment with Luke after the 15-point victory. He then took the stage and lifted the highly-coveted trophy before handing it back to Luke.

Murray also backed the Huskies during the game when the jumbotron went back and forth between him and Purdue alum Drew Brees.

Murray and the NFL star had a friendly flex off during one of the timeouts in the second half. The crowd erupted as they traded poses while taking turns on the big screen.

Always supportive of his second-oldest child, Murray cheered for Luke in his previous teams, Xavier and Louisville.

UConn head coach Dan Hurley also acknowledged that he is anticipating Luke's eventual departure to take a head coaching job elsewhere.

UConn won their first national title in 1999 and are tied with North Carolina for the third-most titles in NCAA history. They are also the first team since Florida in 2006-07 to win consecutive titles.

Additionally, the Huskies set a record for the highest point differential in the NCAA tournament.

The Huskies won their last seven regular season games before dominating their way to the title in the NCAA tournament. They dominated Illinois, 77-52, in the Elite 8 before facing Alabama and taking an 86-72 win in the Final Four.
