All eyes are on Gonzaga as the 2021 NCAA Tournament gets ready to begin, and deservedly so, but Baylor has been the second best team in the country all season long. Jared Butler and Davion Mitchell were just named First and Third Team AP All-Americans respectively earlier this afternoon. The Bears are without a doubt poised to make a run to the Final Four.
Beyond Baylor, you have Ohio State and Arkansas who both put together very strong seasons in their own right. The Buckeyes found success in the gauntlet that was the Big 10 while the Razorbacks had rattled off 12 straight SEC wins before falling to LSU in the conference tournament semifinals.
