Ranking Big Ten basketball programs by most NCAA Tournament wins all-time

Does this list/ranking surprise you? #B1G

One of the main goals of any college basketball team is to win enough games to make the NCAA Tournament. It’s a benchmark that many coaches and players are held to. Once in the Big Dance though, teams sure would like to do some damage, especially those programs that are among the best in the country when it comes to James Naismith’s little invention.

There are plenty of those programs in the Big Ten, Ohio State included. In fact, the Buckeyes are among teams that have reached the top six most Final Fours in NCAA Tournament history, so you’d figure there are a lot of wins in there. How do the Buckeyes stack up to the rest of the Big Ten when it comes to the number of Tourney wins during March Madness?

We have the results for you thanks to NCAA Tournament research provided by ESPN. Here’s a ranking from the least amount of wins during March Mayhem to the most by Big Ten programs.
