In the last 10 years UConn was written off at least 3 different times

BB programs with strong traditions and fan base tend to bounce back.
Especially programs that have won NC or had great success under multiple coaches
Two reasons good coaches want to be there and they can afford or are willing to pay them
In the days of NIL that base can profoundly influence recruiting. In addition to us.
Kentucky’s ( players can legitimately make 7 figures in todays world plus SEC money) Calipari is a dinosaur
UNC
UCLA
Uof A
Kansas
Villanova
and
God knows How much I hate to admit this ,
Syracuse ( yes they will bounce back from a guy who didn’t know when to leave)
plus a few more will always be able to rebound
