Why are there 65 teams in the NCAA basketball tournament instead of 64?
A total of 65 teams qualify for the tournament played in March and April. 31 teams earn automatic bids by winning their respective conference tournaments. Since the Ivy League does not conduct a post-season tournament, its automatic bid goes to the regular-season conference champion.
The remaining 34 tournament slots are granted to at-large bids, which are determined by the Selection Committee, a special committee appointed by the NCAA. Teams whose tournament inclusion status via at-large bids are unclear are called being on the "bubble".[3] The committee also determines where all sixty-five teams are seeded and placed in the bracket.
When the Mountain West Conference was created in 1999, the winner of the Mountain West Conference Men's Basketball Tournament for the 1999-2000 season did not receive an automatic bid. As an alternative to eliminating an at-large bid, the NCAA expanded the tournament to 65 teams beginning in 2001. The #64 and #65 seeds play the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Opening Round Game (informally known as the "play-in game") on the Tuesday preceding the first weekend of the tournament.

(41-66 FG, 18-22 FT) * Clarence "Bevo" Francis has the NCAA all-division record of 113 points, for Rio Grande College (now the University of Rio Grande) against Hillsdale College, exactly 11 days before Selvy's mark. Francis also holds the NAIA mark of 116 points for Rio against Ashland College on January 19, 1953, but this is not recognized by the NCAA because it did not occur in a game against a four-year institution. No one else has ever scored 100 points in an NCAA game, let alone against a Division I school.

Which state has the most teams in the NCAA mens basketball 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
