<p>I changed the template this year. I scrapped attendance figures, because of COVID. In its place, on the far-right-hand side of the map-page, is a chart showing Tournament Appearances, by school (with previous appearance listed). The data source for this was this page at Wikipedia, {<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Division_I_Men%27s_Basketball_Tournament_bids_by_school">NCAA Division I Men&#8217;s Basketball Tournament bids by school</a>}. (Note: that page at Wikipedia hasn&#8217;t been fully updated at the time of this posting [~9:15pm ET on 13 March 2022].)</p>

Source: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Division_I_Men%27s_Basketball_Tournament_bids_by_school">NCAA Division I Men&#8217;s Basketball Tournament bids by school</a> (en.wikipedia.org).<br />
&#8230;</p>
<p>With the cancellation of the 2020 NCAA Division I Men&#8217;s Basketball Tournament, I had some extra space to fill. So I decided to make a map I had wanted to make for years.</p>
<p><strong>The map shows all teams (119 teams) which have qualified for the NCAA Division I Men&#8217;s Basketball Tournament at least 10 times. </strong>On the map, each team&#8217;s Total-Appearances is shown in graphic form by a team-colors-circle that radiates out from the team&#8217;s location. (Three teams &#8211;  St. John&#8217;s, UConn, and Villanova &#8211; have both their venue-locations shown on the map.) The team-colors-circles are sized, with the larger the total appearances, the larger the circle. Alongside each team&#8217;s team-color-circle/location-dot/logo is their number of appearances. The team-color-circles are almost all centered on each team&#8217;s location-dot&#8230;unless I could not fit it in, due to geography and &#8220;team congestion&#8221;. That happened on the East Coast (in the NYC-metro area, and particularly in Philadelphia, but also in Massachusetts/RI, in DC/Maryland, and with respect to North Carolina/Duke). It also happened on the SF-Bay &amp; LA parts of the California coast, up in the Seattle area, and in the southwest-Ohio/Cincinnati region.</p>
<p>I had to cut it off at 10 appearances. I would have kept going, but it was becoming too hard to fit in teams, and still make the map readable.</p>
<p><strong>At the far-left-hand side of the map-page, I made a long chart, which shows 5 things&#8230;</strong><br />
A) Each team&#8217;s Tournament Appearances Rank.<br />
B) Name of school and its primary logo (or wordmark) for their Athletics teams.<br />
C) Tournament Appearances (with last appearance noted).<br />
D) Final Four Appearances (with last Final Four noted).<br />
E)  Titles (with last title noted).</p>
<p>The map encompasses all 81 seasons of the tournament (1939-2019). The map is based on a list at Wikipedia {<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Division_I_Men%27s_Basketball_Tournament_bids_by_school">NCAA Division I Men&#8217;s Basketball Tournament bids by school</a>}. I deviated from the list in just one way&#8230;Teams which qualified for the 2020 tournament, before the tournament was cancelled on Friday the 13th of March, do not have those 2020 bids count toward their total appearances-tally. I did that because it wouldn&#8217;t be fair to all the teams from the bigger conferences that never got to play in their tournaments, or all the teams that would have been selected as at-large bids on selection-Sunday.<br />
