The 2021 NCAA tournament – the entire 2020-21 college basketball season – comes down to four teams.
The biggest surprise of the Final Four is the 11 seed UCLA, a team that no one (if we are being honest) was seen to be leading the best during the first weekend. And yet the Bruins won in the East-Region, including 1-seed Michigan, 2-seed Alabama and 6-seed BYU, led by a brilliant pair of coaches Mick Cronin and Johnny Jujang and Jaime Jacuzz Jr..
They will clash against Gonzaga, which is no doubt worthy of its top overall seed. The West Region champion Zags have not only been unstoppable on offense, as evident by the 24-point margin of their average wins, but also their defense; Only one of Gonzaga’s opponents has eclipsed the 70-point mark. A trio of Drew Taimi, Corey Kispert and Jalan Sugg are running Mark Few’s machine to perfection.

On the other side of the bracket, Midwest champions Houston will face off against South champions Baylor. Quentin Grimes has been the primary playmaker on Calvin Sampson’s Caggers team, but the team must strive to pursue Baylor. The Beers are led by Jared Butler, but his defensive efforts against Villanova and Arkansas should make him a favorite to play in the national championship game.
