Final Four Droughts - Part II

Michigan State will be going to the Final Four for the 6th time in the last 12 years. In that same time frame, Kentucky has not been to a Final Four. This is for a school that has been to 13 Final Fours overall (which is tied for 4th all-time).

Out of the 5 schools that have been to at least 13 final fours, UCLA has the longest all-time drought at 14 years, so Kentucky will need to make the Final Four in one of the next two seasons to keep from passing them. Here are the biggest droughts for the teams with the most Final Fours.
