What occurred in the NCAA March Madness 2021 last year?

Due to logistical concerns around the continuing COVID-19 epidemic (which prompted the postponement of the previous year's tournament), the NCAA announced in January 2021 that all competitive games would be held in Indiana rather than throughout the nation. The tournament was exclusively hosted by a single state for the first time in its history.

It was the first time since 1976 that neither Duke nor Kentucky had qualified for the tournament. Both the America East champion Hartford and the WAC champion Grand Canyon made their NCAA Tournament debuts. Several upsets happened during the tournament, which Yahoo Sports writer Pete Thamel labeled "one of the most dizzying NCAA men's tournaments in history."

The 2021 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament included 68 teams competing in a single-elimination tournament to crown the national champion of men's Division I professional basketball for the 2020–21 season. The 82nd season of the tournament started on March 18, 2021, at venues around Indiana, and ended on April 5, 2021, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, with the Baylor Bears defeating the previously undefeated Gonzaga Bulldogs 86–70 to claim the team's first-ever championship.
