In the NCAA basketball tournament, 11 seeds are playing in games because they are considered to be strong enough teams to compete against higher-seeded opponents. The tournament is designed to give all teams a chance to prove themselves and potentially cause upsets.
There were 53 teams in the 1984 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship (5 play-in games before the tournament).

The higher seed is considered the home team
The first four 11 seeds are significant in the NCAA basketball tournament selection process because they compete in play-in games to earn a spot in the main tournament bracket. These games give lower-seeded teams a chance to prove themselves and potentially advance further 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.
