North Carolina has Three Teams in the NCAA Tournament
Duke, North Carolina, UNC-Ashville
In 2012, there are (or were) four teams in the NCAA tournament: Duke, Florida State, North Carolina and North Carolina State. That is 4/68 or 5.9% of the tournament. Actually, in 2011, the seven teams that were in the NCAA tournament were: Virginia, North Carolina, Duke, Georgia Tech, Maryland, Boston College and Virginia Tech. That constituted 7/65 of the entire NCAA tournament or 10.8%
5 teams came from the North and South Carolina in 2011 (3 from NC, 2 from SC). There were actually 68 teams in this years tournament, so about 7.4% of the teams came from these two states. If you are talking about the round of 64 (officially the second round), 7.8% of the teams from these two states made it (no team from a Carolina lost in the first round, although UNC-Ashville had to play to make it to the second round).
68 Teams will play in the 2011 tournament.

First of all, it is interesting to note to that 20 states are NOT represented in the tournament, so just making it in is an accomplishment. From my count, below are the best-represented states in the 2011 NCAA men's basketball tournament. Since there a lot of ties with states sending 4 or 5 teams, I decided to average the seeding of each state's teams and rank them by that criteria. I was also motivated to do it this way because I'm a Hoosier... --------------------------------------------- State (No. of teams) -> Avg. Seed --------------------------------------------- Indiana (4) -> 6.75 Ohio (4) -> 7.00 California (4) -> 8.75 Pennsylvania (5) -> 9.60 Tennessee (4) -> 9.75 Virginia (5) -> 11.20 *Feel free to check my work* As can be seen, Pennsylvania and Virginia are sending the most teams, but these teams are not of the highest average quality. Regardless, these six states represent a very large portion of the current college basketball market. North Carolina has 4 teams in the 2015 NCAA basketball tournament with an average seed of 5.75
