Every year, some media outlets cover themselves in drool over the latest five-star phenoms who gather together. Fabulous freshmen such as Duke's Zion Williamson last season dominate the airwaves and web pages from November through February. Once March comes, the teams that have created environments that serve a consistent ethos - one that players adopt and demonstrate as they stick around for two, three and even four years and pass on to the next generation - tend to take home the big prize. Or, as Ohio State coach Chris Holtmann puts it: "Old wins."
