Question: how many games do you have to win to make the ncaa tournament?
Answer: Teams 1–4 must only win three in three days. In the ACC, teams 10–15 would have to win 5-in-5. So if you participate in a multiple-team event, finish 6th in the SEC, reach the final of the SEC tournament, make the NCAA tournament, then reach the NCAA championship game, you would play 41 games.
