Which State has the most teams in the Men's NCAA BB tournament?

[Cycsk]

Guess which state has the most teams in the Men's NCAA BB tournament? Don't count them or look them up. Just make a guess based on your gut after completing your brackets.

Spoiler: And the winner is _______

Both Texas and California have 6, but Texas has a 7th that lost in the play-in game. Virginia and Alabama are next with 4. Then comes Tennessee, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Ohio with 3.

Spoiler: Another State

Doesn't Indiana have 3 with Purdue, Indiana, Notre Dame?

Rutgers already lost their pig to solidify a significantly worse resume than OU.

I was wondering where Iowa would stand on teams in the tourney for both men and women combined. Having 4 in is pretty impressive, especially for a low pop state with only 4 D1 universities.

Drake and UNI were both fairly close too, although at most only one of them could have made it this year.

Relatively strong for a smaller state like ours. Texas has a combined 12. Ugh.

I haven’t done the math but I’m guessing per capita or per eligible university we are doing way better than them.

Right. Iowa has 50% of eligible teams in the tourney. That’s pretty high.

1 big 10 team down 8 to go.

I must be missing someone in NJ. I only know of Rutgers, Seton Hall and St Peters. Who is the 4th?

Also, I have 4 from Alabama instead of 3- Alabama, Auburn, Jacksonville St, UAB

It's odd to see low numbers from NC and OH. Teams like Cincy, Xavier, Wake Forest, and NC State seems like they are constant participants. Not to mention both states normally have more mid-major tourney winners sprinkled in somewhere.

Yeah I think NJ is only those 3 (unless I'm overlooking something, too). Only others that had realistic shot this season for auto-bid were Princeton and Monmouth.

And you're correct on Alabama w/ 4. (It's easy to mistake Jacksonville State as Florida).

If we go the percentage route, Iowa would have decent showing with even 1 of 4, compared to California, which has roughly 28 D1 schools (although a couple are in transition and weren't eligible this season - Cal Baptist and UC San Diego).

Hmmm. For NJ, I have Rutgers, St. Peter's, Seton Hall, and Rutgers! Apparently, I went back and added Rutgers a second time when I decided to include the play-in teams. Correction: NJ with 3 teams.

Also, I did mistake Jacksonville State as Florida, not Alabama. Correction: Alabame with 4 teams.

Other than that, I was right on target!
