Does anyone know how many play in games there were for the tourney last year. Was it just ArkPB? I was trying to track how the play in teams did in the first round.

There was only one play game per year since 2001 when the NCAA went to a field of 65:

Arkansas- Pine Bluff +24 v Duke L 44-73 ATS L O/U 124 U
Note that these teams played on Friday, 2 days off in between. Now, the winning team has to turn around, travel and play with 1 day off (Tuesday/Thursday and Wednesday/Friday)
Play in game winners ATS 4-5-1, however the totals lend more insight as to the offensively challenged teams.
Totals with 131 or less were 0-3 Under
Totals of 140 or more were 6-1 Over
So, as the trend is your friend, play U 131 and over 140 -
