There's a lot of teams where it's final 4 or bust. Kansas, Duke, UNC, Gonzaga, Kentucky, UConn, etc. It just means that's the expectation every year.

I don't think those fanbases look at a season as a failure if they don't make a Final Four. I think they look at it as making Final Fours more often than not is the expectation, but even great programs don't come close to making the Final Four every year. The tournament just doesn't operate that way.

Final Fours since 2015 (10 years)
Villanova - 3
North Carolina - 3
Michigan State - 2
UConn - 2
Kansas - 2
Duke - 2
Kentucky - 1
UCLA - 1
Syracuse - 1
Michigan - 1
