About those injuries this season
I did a little research on ChatGPT
Estimated answer: average games lost by top 8 players
Typical NCAA Division I men’s basketball team:
• ≈ 30–40 games missed per season among top 8 players
• Equivalent to:
• ~4–5 games missed per player per season on average
• Usually concentrated in 1–3 players with moderate injuries
There was a lot more data there as well, but this is the gist of it.
I don’t think VT is much above that total. You have to expect injuries and try to plan for them.
That being said, I wonder how much injuries have hampered Neo. And I do miss watching Tyler Johnson play.

Theres not a single chance 30-40 games missed is the average nationally

All it takes is one player to miss the whole season and you're almost there
