Easy- UConn with one good season is back. Uconn has to beat Memphis, Cincy, Houston, Temple, and maybe Tulsa or SMU. We recruit out of the most fertile bb territory (aka Our back yard.
Pitt competes against Duke, UNC, Syracuse, UVA, Miami, et all. That's a tough grind. And Pitt is a FB school first. Win at UConn, the state is yours.
UConn had an unprecedented run in coaching with JC and GA. Unlikely we'll see that again. But where else have you seen two bb NC's in same year let alone twice.
Also, don't undersell uconns schedule. Sure it's not the big east, but JC never believed in this type of OOC. UConn pretty much plays an elite ooc schedule so the visibility is there. Just need to get back to winning.
