How many basics for a cube?

I have a 360 card cube that is to be drafted with 4-8 people. How many basics will I need to have for this? I am hoping to use my BFZ full-arts, but I don't know if I will have enough.
Its generally a good idea to have 50 of each for a cube. Makes things easier so you don't have to find more if you need more.

I use 50 of each for my 450. Never needed to get extra, even in a 10 person draft.

Assume you're drafting with 8 people, each colour should approximately be drafted twice. Assuming 9-8 mana basese, you'll, hypothetically, need 17 of each. Since that's obviously a very simple assumption, going with 35 each should be save. Obviously, you could just overkill and go with 50 but, as many above already said, I can't see a draft where you'd ever need 50.

I have 50 of each color on hand and that's always overkill, but my big cube has a good amount of land fixing and non-basics in it. My community cube has way less mana fixing in it so we usually get to using more of the basics, but we've never needed to grab extra.
