some bad years before Norm and the recent stretch. I don't count FFs, because it's a marketing ploy. Do you know any other sports that tout making the semifinals in their respective sport? None. It's just something fun for ku when they try to justify "elite" status with 1 title in 3 decades and 2 over the past 60+ years.
