It's also hard to win with freshmen in March. Tourney is an old man's game.
Experience has a way of usually outweighing everything else. This is true in most sports.

Does anyone think we lose that football game against Maryland last year if they would've had a less experienced QB?

There are so many sports examples of experience being the most relevant factor. (That's not to say that Nebraska hasn't found ways to lose to inexperienced teams though, because we most certainly have) And if you look at our football team for example we've been bad for years and in each of those years we've had to backfill the senior class with transfers or we wouldn't have even had a senior class. Gotta get older dudes.

The pendulum has swung back on that.

It was an old man's game. Then Pre-NIL but during the 1 and done era it became a battle of having the most blue chippers. But now with NIL and kids staying in longer because it's more profitable than G League or going overseas the old man game is back. The only difference is it used to be 5 or 6 guys that all came up together in the same program. Now it's 5 or 6 old transfers that a good coach can get them to gel in a years time.

In my opinion, NCAA basketball is the biggest winner in the NIL era. The basketball is a lot better when it's 22-23 year old dudes playing than when it's 18-19 year olds dominating.
