In 2013, assuming that's what you mean by "this year," the NCAA Men's basketball tournament included teams from 31 states and the District of Columbia.
In the 2013 NCAA men's basketball tournament, three states were represented by five teams each:California, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Of these 15 teams, only LaSallefrom Pennsylvania and Duke from North Carolina made it to the Sweet 16.In contrast, the state of Florida had three teams in the Sweet 16: the University of Florida, the University of Miami and Florida Gulf Coast University.
There is no "college for California" per se, as tournament teams are not selected by state. In 2013, California was represented in the tournament by California, San Diego State and UCLA.
If "this year" is 2013, then the answer is that 62% of the 50 states were represented by teams in the NCAA men's basketball tournament. That also happens to be the samepercentage as 2012.
