The winner (and loser) of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament will have played 6 games in the tournament.
The maximum number of regular season games is 29. Up to 3 games can count as 1 game, if they are in a tournament. So 31 games if 3 are in a tournament. Additional post season games are also allowed. 1. Conference tournament 2. NCAA, NIT, or CBI post season tournaments. If a team playes all 31 regular season games and the max conference tournament would be 5 games, and the max NCAA games of 6, they will have played 42 games. That hardly ever happens.
63 games
Rankings are subjective. The NCAA Tournament games are about matchups.
There were 53 teams in the 1984 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship (5 play-in games before the tournament).

The rules and regulations for NCAA play-in games are determined by the NCAA selection committee. These games are typically held before the official start of the NCAA tournament and involve teams competing for a spot in the main tournament bracket. The selection committee decides which teams will participate in the play-in games based on various criteria, such as their performance during the regular season. The winners of the play-in games advance to the main tournament bracket.
CBS does a good majority of the tournament. In fact, I believe that they show very game of the tournament.
Christian Laettner (Duke 1989-1882) played in 23 NCAA tournament games. Bobby Hurley (Duke 1990-1993) played in 20 games.
