sez you, and you're biased
SU is a small private university located in a small, shrinking, aging city hundreds of miles from any major urban area.  The basketball program was largely built by the current coach & is synonymous with his name.  The fan base is rabid, considers themselves a blue blood program near peer with Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, etc and has very high expectations.  Finish outside the top 4  in the conference, miss the tournament 3 out of 6 years &  get to the second weekend only one of those times and you're considered a failure & run out of town.

U-Dub is the flagship state university, with deeper pockets, located in a large, growing, younger major city.  It is more of a football school, has little basketball history to live up to and has reasonable expectations for the new coach.  Finish in the top half of the conference, make the NCAAs 3 times in the next 6 years & the Sweet 16 once and he'll be considered a home run hire.
