The 2020-21 NCAA basketball season took place despite the COVID-19 crisis. The 2021 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament ended with a nice win of the Baylor Bears who defeated the Gonzaga Bulldogs 86-70 in the championship game played at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN on 2021-04-05.
