Investigate the conferences, the teams, the players and especially the turnover of players - those graduating and the high school players coming in to the tournament. In one year, the University of Arizona lost 80% of their starters due to player turnovers. As a result, Arizona didn't even rank in the pre-season top twenty five. The next March madness tournament, they had a line-up of freshmen and sophomores and only one junior player. Arizona went on to become one of the top teams in the country.
