I feel like Chavez shares some of the endearing and infuriating qualities of Arike Ogumbowale. At times she can be electric but most nights she takes too many ill-advised shots too early in the clock without trying to run a set or get her team involved.

she takes a lot of shots you don't mind her taking.

As an opponent, definitely! 😆

I would say shot selection and usage rate probably have a lot to do with what I believe I saw.

I think beers also got less touches than she would have liked at times.

Verhulst I thought had a better junior season. I think verhulst was on ball more and even did some work as a point forward before Chavez arrived.

So, I just think they didn’t enjoy their basketball as much this season. It just never really clicked imo.

Beers was criminally underused in that offense.

If only she had played in a different system ...

I've said it once, and I'll say it again - she kind of disappeared at Oklahoma and I'm convinced she'd be a first or second round All-American if she (and at least some of her colleagues) had stayed at Oregon State.

Now, that their season is over. I will be honest and give you my perspective as a game watcher.

I never got the feeling watching Oklahoma that Verhulst and Beers liked playing with Chavez.

That could be true. They did help to recruit her to OU, though.

And, if you believe Chavez's reason for picking OU was because she wanted to attend a program where the head coach would "let her play her game", then Coach B kept her word even if it might have not set well with seniors Beers and Verhulst who were the primary offensive options one season ago.

I actually think there could be some resentment/jealousy. They probably heard all the rumors during her recruitment that her Dad was asking for a $1 million NIL payout. And, then the rumor was that Jordan Brand with help from Trae Young and his Dad came up with $1.5 million to sign with OU. No way Beers or Verhulst were earning NIL close to that amount.

I found myself thinking Beers might just as well have stayed at Oregon State. I think she could have played in a sweet sixteen. OU could use another post for next season. How attractive is OU going to look to true post recruits.

OSU was a top 5 team, if not top 3, if the players hadn't bailed just because they were moving to a lesser conference. They screwed their coach, and they screwed themselves.

It doesn't help when she was sitting on the bench in foul trouble so much

I could see Crooks there should she enter

That could be a mistake for OU. I think they need to find a way to get better on defense.

OU is very uptempo. Not seeing Crooks as a good fit for that.

Look like all 1 Seeds will be in the Final Four. From today’s scores I don’t see any upsets. Maybe Michigan. If not this year and they keep their core together they will come close either next year or the following one.
