It is more common on the women's side due to the disparity between #1 and say the #20 ranked teams.
Also, due to women players having to stay at least three years (domestic players have to be 22 in the year of the WNBA draft) they stay longer
So schools that get very strong recruiting classes like Connecticut, South Carolina, Tennessee, LSU, Duke, Stanford etc
Their players stay for longer and get better at college basketball.
Men's college basketball does seem to have a bit more variance due to the 3 point shot, transfer portal and one and dones.
