That has largely been our offense since Ingram went down. Outside of the occasional game where someone like Norris or Edwards would get loose giving the ball to Retin was basically our entire offense. There is a reason we were picked to finish 13th in the league, we had no scorers heading in to the season and only really found 1.

I just don't get how they can beat some of the teams they did then turn around and lose to some very bad teams.
Because we aren't very talented at all yet. Some games guys would get hot and we would look great. When the shots weren't falling we would look bad.
We lost all our scoring, were a horrible rebounding team, and basically since January have been playing without a PG. I don't know how anyone can be upset with this season. We finally beat some ranked teams, finally won a SEC tournament game, and made it to the postseason. That is a terrific start to Avery's career here.
Losing Retin sucks, but Ingram will be back, Hall had an impressive first season. and Nick King has apparently looked awesome in practices. This was never a one year rebuilding job.

Me either. I think Alabama was a victim of their own success this year. When they got on a roll in February, expectations got higher, then the bottom fell out. This was a not very talented team that overachieved with some ugly scrappy wins.

Agreed. Hope we can find a consistent perimeter shooter or 2 for next year. Edwards and Norris seemed to be hitting early on, but not so much towards the end of the season...and both Coleman and Hale were very streaky and showed only flashes from the perimeter. I think later in the season, opponents knew that most of our offense was Retin slashing to the basket so they could just pack it in and dare us to hit from the outside...which we didn't most of the time...
