It's actually not as hard as you think.
Vermont is quad 1 win this year. They went to the tourney last year and brought back their 4 best starters including the conference player of the year, a freshman who was 2nd team all conference & a 3rd teamer.
They went 16-0 in conference last year and ran through their league.
If you bring back a lot of starters and you did well, reasonable chance success can be replicated. Scoochie, Cooke, Pollard and Davis came back after their junior season. Reasonable to assume they'll do it again
Kentucky shelled out one of the biggest guarantees in the country this year to get them. Marquette payed big money to buy them too
Neil isn't the only AD in America who knows how to schedule
