Your memory is very good, as the actual record was 18-9 (I think).

18-9 Overall Record in Conference Tournaments
So, in 12 conference tournaments, KS was One-and-Done three times.
In 8 seasons at OU, Lon has been One-and-Done 6 times.
I wonder how many of those losses were to the eventual champion? I know 1995 was because we lost to Big Country/OSU. 2000 we lost to Iowa State with the great elite 8 team they had in the finals. 1999 we lost to OSU in the first round, I think they won it.
