The 2021 NCAA tournament will be unlike any in history, with the majority of its 67-game slate taking place in Indianapolis.
The NCAA announced in January that it would stage the entire event in Indiana amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Last year's Big Dance was canceled due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus in the U.S.
March Madness will be hosted by Ball State University, Butler University, the Horizon League, Indiana University, IUPUI and Purdue University, which are lending their facilities and staffs to assist with tournament operations. The Indiana Convention Center will be used as a practice facility, with multiple courts set up inside the venue.
