Was a lot of fun tonight on the web! You guy do a great job and I really PU a great deal from the knowledgeable posters. ZB, I looked at my notes that I take along with watching the game that I will use when I breakdown the game for myself and they’re almost tit for tat with your post! Wow, thats scary, lol! The only thing I would add right now would be, I thought KO was really out of position most of the night, lacked foot speed, very poor defensively with his hands down most of the time and very seldom blocked out. To me, just plain poor fundementals. Loads of upside but should never be getting this many minutes.

Looking forward to read others overall views of the game. Again, thanks for the good job.

They showed the entire Jazz-Cavs game rather than Gonzaga. Once that game was over, they finally jumped to the Gonzaga game with 2 minutes to go in the game. That sucked.

I was at the game and enjoyed pretty much all aspects of the game being it was the 1st one that counted. Elias showed me how amazing he can be as a down-low scorer and rebounder. Only mistakes he made were some silly fouls that he can correct. My biggest thing was what is the coaching staff going to do with Andy Poling? Is he hurt or just not doing well in practice? It said alot to me that a walk-on in Michael Hart got in before Andy did with just 3-4 minutes to go in game. Also glad to see how great Rob Sacre played. He made great moves in the paint and was ok at the free-throw line 5-9. His true test will come on Tuesday night against Michigan State and their bigs. I thought Matt was pressing a bit in 1st half but settled down nicely with a great 2nd half to lead team especially with that huge 3 to stop the Delta Demons scoring run. All in all I was pleased with effort from everyone but we’ll see where we are after Tuesday! Go Zags!!

Delta Devils sorry not Delta Demons!

Watched the game. Reviewed the game. Watched the game. I’m stunned at the rotation and minutes played. I see nothing in this game that would lead me to play KO ahead of anybody! Grant played so much better and look at who Manny was playing with. GJ played well in his limited time. Hart even got in ahead of Andy in the second half. The most dissappointing thing was the lack of an “Offense”. This truely looked like a PU game with shades of European and NBA style of play. Watch the game and look at how fast we shot the ball. How few sets were run and how they ran into each other in there effort to try to run a set. What I watched last night was Athletes playing not a GU team yet but that will come. JMO

I was at the game last night, and probably my favorite part of the game was late in the second half when MVS attempted a full court press. It was fun to watch Demetri just cut through the press each time he brought the ball up. It was at least four possessions in a row where he just broke through the press and left three defenders in his dust standing in the backcourt.

Boy, that kid is fast.

1. I love seeing the hustle and diving on the floor, it reminded me of the good old days with the zags when there could be 3 or 4 guys on the floor diving for balls.

2. i still love meech on defense he plays real tight and is able to shut down alot.

3. Harris= stud…..yep

4. I know ill get blasted for this one but i think that foster will be a big contributer this year. While his stats may not have impressed many (and i think he had more blocks than they gave him) he has a natural ability to cause teams to slow down and change their shots. He was moving his feet some and getting in the right position as well. He is an offensive liability sure but when he was played with elias we went on a big run, also he could have been more productive on offense had his guards put the ball up rather than throwing him passes at his waist.

5. GJ is a shooter that i cant wait to see go off.

6 KO has some intangibles and hustles but i would rather see Andy

7. Gibbs did not impress but we will see.

8 Matt and steven played well, still working on that leadership. it will come.

9. Sacre was surprising but i wonder if those same moves will work against some bigger boys.

Jim has some interesting comments from Mark Few on his post. Of particular interest is one on Steven and one on the Wing play last night.

I got to watch the game last night courtesy of Justintv….which is an awesome way to watch a game. It was either that or go to the local Hooter’s to watch it on their satellite feed. I hope we have more Zags games through the internet.
I was really impressed the way the kids attacked the glass last night. Elias Harris and Rob Sacre were beasts on the boards! It was great seeing two post players controlling the paint. I didn’t think we shot the ball from the outside very well last night, but the guys found ways to score. When we are hitting the outside shots like we should, I think there will be few teams that can stay with us. Steven Gray played a very good game, as did Matt Bouldin….especialy in the 2nd half. I look forward to seeing how the team plays at Michigan State this Tuesday. Win or lose, I hope they play a solid game and keep impoving. This could be an outstanding team by year’s end if that happens!
