Four started the tourney, but UNC, NC State and Davidson have been defeated. Only Duke remains.
North Carolina.
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%
North Carolina has 5, followed by New York, California, Kentucky, and Ohio at 4.

4 2012
The 2012 NCAA men's basketball tournament included teams from 31 states and the District of Columbia.
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
Five states are tied for that distinction. At the beginning of the tournament, the following states had four teams each in the tournament. Of those five states, two, Kentucky and Ohio, had teams make it to the Final Four.CaliforniaKentuckyNew YorkNorth CarolinaOhio
