Ladies and gentleman, college basketball is all of the way back.
It has been 607 days since the world shut down due to COVID-19 and cancelled March Madness. Since then, teams have played with limited-capacity arenas, and the NCAA Tournament was played without fans.
Not this year. The pent-up energy is going to be released, stadiums will be full, crowds will be rocking and the atmospheres around the country are set to be the loudest and craziest of all-time.
As the new season gets ready to tip off this afternoon, it’s time to crown the most important preseason honor— the 2021 NCAA Basketball All-Name Team.
