UConn of course won 4 of their 5 titles in the Big East and their 2014 had a Big East roster

The theoretical chance is ever-present if you make the field of 68 in MBB and WBB. Has a small/non P5 school outside of Nova won it in recent memory? No. But within the history of the tourney? Yes:

Holy Cross
Loyola-Chicago
Villanova
UConn
CCNY
San Francisco
LaSalle
Marquette
Gorgetown
UNLV

Check out non P5 performance in the tourney here:

It's easier to believe that something that has happened before can happen again, than to believe that something that has never happened will happen for the first time.

It's also more likely.

I would invest my $$ in MBB.

You are going in the way back machine for that one. I could have done the same and thrown out the multiple nattys that Army, Harvard, Yale and Lehigh won back in the day but I didn’t. And Marquette, Georgetown and Villanova are in the “protected” class in the Big East.
