There is no perfect formula here.  Villanova and Wisconsin are recent teams that have benefitted from veteran experience of solid players against more talented but less experienced players.

Most teams have up and downs.  Most teams have had a more severe down then we have experienced in the past 25 years (Excluding this year anyway).   This includes Duke, UNC, Kentucky, Indiana and UCLA.

We have a recruiting formula that worked very well from 2009-2014 --.   It also mix of top recruits who excelled by the sophomore season and also some quality 3/4 year players that formed a very good foundation of talent.    Right now we are just a little short in both areas.

Roberson, Coleman, White are not as good as the JR/SR of prior years.    We don't have an impact sophomore that we had in those periods as Lydon has struggled a bit.   Frank Howard, is not Dion Waiters or MCW who stepped into the backcourt as sophomore.   When those players were recruited it seemed like it good possibly work again, but it just hasn't.
