6 including one in the 1920's before the NCAA was in charge of a champion. (And until the 60's, many times the NIT champion was actually the best team in the nation.) but... 1924, 1957, 1982, 1993, 2005 and 2009.
UK didn't make the Final Four in 1992. That was the year they lost to Duke in the Elite Eight, 103-102, on Christian Laettner's buzzer beater.
Right now they only have Will Coleman, a Joey Dorsey clone, supposedly, maybe a little bit better offensively but built like him. They are after Latavious Williams and Lance Stephenson, but the way things have been going for them so far, wouldn't surprise me if they don't get either. Both these guys keep putting off when they will commit and changing their minds and such, so I am thinking they may not have the grades or there are some other issues there. Taggert may go pro overseas. If this happens and the 2 guys above don't come, they will have a thin roster next season, like 7 scholarship players. Calipari really did a number on them. He tore them down a heck of a lot faster than he built them up, but there is optimism for the new coach and in a few years they will be back in the top 20 consistently.

There are 68 teams in the tournament.
It used to be 64 (actually, there were times that it was less), however a new automatic bid from the Mountain West conference forced the NCAA to make it 65. It was expanded in the 2011 tornament to 68 teams to allow some "bubble teams" to qualify, who would not of in the 65 team system.
As much as you can find somebody to pay for it.
