Final Four 2021: Is Gonzaga vs. Baylor a historically good national championship matchup?

If something felt wrong about penciling in the Gonzaga Bulldogs and Baylor Bears for the national championship of your 2021 March Madness bracket back on Selection Sunday, it's only because the NCAA tournament has traditionally given us so many surprises. (Saturday night's near miss for UCLA was yet another reminder.) It couldn't have been because anyone doubted the abilities of the Zags or Bears, the nation's best two teams back in November (and maybe even in November of 2019) who will finally get to meet for the national championship on Monday night from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
