10 Greatest NCAA Tournament Buzzer-Beaters
10 Biggest Upsets in NCAA Tournament History
Best NCAA Tournament Teams Ever By Seed

Gonzaga entered the 2021 NCAA Tournament with an opportunity to make history by going undefeated but the heavy favorites fell to Baylor in the national championship game.

In fact, the 2020-21 Gonzaga Bulldogs barely make the list of the 15 best college basketball teams whose paths to championship glory were cut off by the single-elimination, one-and-done roadblock that is March Madness.

Kevin Keatts promised he was a winner at his introductory press conference, and he delivered with an NCAA Tournament berth in his first season at NC State. 


Keatts looks to build on his first-year success with a reconfigured roster that features nine transfers — eight of whom will be eligible this season. The Wolfpack will continue to push tempo, press and take a lot of 3-pointers. This team figures to be deeper and more athletic than the one that exceeded all expectations with an 11–7 record and fifth-place ACC finish in 2017-18.

Even in years before conference realignment, the charter members of the ACC more often than not could boast the best roster of coaches in the country.

The guys on this list are not those coaches. Here are the 20 worst coaching tenures in the six major conference since the NCAA Tournament expanded in 1985.
