Biggest issue is with physical and mental maturity that wins the games over short periods of time.
Anyone can toss a bunch of talent on the floor and win meaningless games once or twice a week for 2 months then compete against half a dozen solid teams once or twice a week in conference. ie: P5 schools
Veteran teams have a much better chance of being successful when the games are high stress and coming at you quickly with a bunch of travel and external distractions.
Flying to a new site three weekends in a row for two games in 3 days wears on you. The veteran players can deal with it better over the course of time.
