Yeah, it's been a whole bunch of things. CJ playing through a finger injury on his shooting hand, Nance being in and out of injury reports, Jose in and out because of injury, Herb in and out because of injury, Dyson in and out because of injury (has been positively impactful as a rookie!), Ingram in and out because of injury, everybody on the roster going through shooting slumps at the same time, and coach Green not really getting the team to run a quality offense which has been leading to lots of bad iso's which has lead to some poor defense. And, yeah, they were holding their own without Zion for like 10+ games. And then everyone started getting injured, leading to more usage on other guys who weren't quite ready for the increased workload, leading to more usage on other guys who weren't ready for the increased workload to a larger degree, etc. Just a whole bunch of unfortunate poo poo other than the offense being stuck in the mud because either the scheme sucks or the players suck at consistently moving without the ball and then receiving the ball on the move/open.

I knew I had gotten the school wrong but it was super late and I was too lazy to fact check it. Forgot that Hayward wasn't in that game, though. And, yeah, worst title game ever.

Herb, Richardson, Trey, and Naji are playing out of their minds on that end and just about everyone else is doing their job. It's similar to the Bulls in "how the gently caress???". Now, if only the half-court offense can get back on track.

I don't watch much NCAA for either men's or women's but are the coaches in women's better than the men's? As in, more modern schemes, more inventive plays, less over coaching, etc.?

I really like Dyson Daniels but I worry about his lack of wiggle on offense. Probably won't ever be much of an initiator despite his fantastic passing. It helps that he is stouter-Herb on defense and has a set 3pt shot that is on the verge of being something defenses have to respect. I'm excited for him. Somewhat relatedly, this team really loving misses Jose who has been injured for a while now. He doesn't turn the ball over much, keeps the offense moving and aggressively going to the paint, and is a pest to ballhandlers on defense. No one else has stepped up to provide those qualities off the bench. Herb is having a sophomore slump while also getting negative respect by refs for his defense. harumph Trey Murphy has added some driving to his game which has really opened things up for him. They are mostly straight line drives attacking closeouts, but he is still dangerous with it and has been pretty good at avoiding charges when attacking the rim from the corner.
