re: How many Sweet 16s has your team played in?

Only 22-24 (depending on teams or year) teams through 1973-1974.SEC winner (or representative) would go on to the then Mideast Regional and face the winner of a game between an independent vs a MAC or Ohio Valley team. Same for Big 10. Their winner would go on to the Mideast and face the winner of an independent vs a MAC or Ohio Valley team.For instance in 1974 Marquette played Ohio U and Notre Dame played Austin Peay in the first round of the NCAA tournament on the same day that major conferences concluded their regular season or tournament in the case of the ACC.
