There is a line. All “NCAA Tournament” statistics from before the field expanded to 64 teams are not applicable to the modern format.
From the 1940s to the 1970s there were only 16 teams invited and much of that time the NCAA tournament was not even the most prestigious, that would have been the NIT. To “make a final 4” during that era required 2 wins (your home building in most cases) vs 4(+) in modern times.
