Which player in college basketball has played the most games?
Christian Laettner of Duke played in 23 NCAA tournament games.
AnswerI'm not sure how that would be possible in a four year college career, when you consider that winning six games in the NCAA tournament makes you the nat'l champs for that year. 23 wins in four years means you would have had to win 6 in three years and 5 in the fourth. 3 nat'l titles and a runner up in four years?here's how-they won the title in 91 and 92-12 games
in 90 lost in finals to unlv-6 games
in 89 lost in final 4 to seton hall-5 games-total, 23 games
Actually, he played in 24 NCAA tournament games. When they lost in the final four in 89....he played in the consolation game for third place. (they never televise that game....but the two "losers" play for third) I believe that it is the only consolation game of the tournament.
