IMHO, it's been a long and gradual process:

Mid 1960's - some national success and notoriety in the Dave Bing era, which begat

1976 - Final Four appearance, which begat

Late 1970's - the Louie and Bouie show, which begat

1979 - inception of the Big East, which begat

1980 - the Carrier Dome, with its unmatchable notoriety, which begat

1983 - Pearl Washington, our first modern era 5 star recruit, which begat

Late 1980's - Sekaily, Coleman, Douglas, et al, our first sustained run in the highest echelon of college hoops, including the 1987 title game, which begat

1996 - another Final Four appearance under Wallace, Burgan, Sims, Hill et al, which begat

2003 - Carmelo Anthony and getting the monkey off our back, which begat

Mid 2000's - improved and sustained recruiting, and the 2009 addition of the Melo Center, which begat

2010 to now - becoming a sustained Top 5 program, and an annual and credible threat to win it all

And the one constant in all this:
