    Finally...

    That was the most complete game to date. We could have easily hung 100-110 on the Waves but I respect coach Few for pulling the starters at about the 5 minute mark - very classy. Offensive execution, defensive intensity. It was beautiful. I'd love to see that kind of play the rest of the year. It'd make these 1am bedtimes much easier to swallow. Excellent game, I cannot say it enough.


    Other quick thoughts:
    Jeremy seems to be hurting. I'm sure taking that charge didn't help...
    Matt can definitely run the point...
    Austin appears to be "back." His confidence looks to be sky high...
    Where did Micah go tonight?
    Nice game for Pendo - another quick double-digit performance...
    I really love to watch Stephen Gray play. So smooth and steady. Hard to believe he's a freshman...
    Josh seemed to disappear at times tonight...

    Finally - I know this was Pepperdine and it probably distorts things a bit but wow do we have a bunch of horses. I love to watch them press and push all game. I wish they'd do it more often. No one in the WCC could hang with constant pressure from this group of players.

    My question is where is big Willy? This pi@@es me off. The kid busts his tail and when we get games like this I would love to see the kid get some PT.

      I concur, I would have loved to see Foster in there. Every single zag except him got PT.

        I know that the coaching staff has mentioned Will having some problems with his back. I'm more interested in seeing them fine tune a well-oiled machine right now than I am in seeing a possibly injured guy play.

              I'm certain Will didn't play because of injury. There's no other reason he wouldn't have been out there.
              Most interesting stat: Pepperdine shot just four free throws, making three. Guess you don't get to the stripe very often when 43 percent of your field goal attempts are 3-pointers.

                Micah put on his hard hat and went to work on D out there, but his confidence on offense and even at the line just looks to be totally shot. I don't know what it is, but wherever it went, I really really hope he finds it. Not only does he seem like a nice kid who anyone would like to see do well, but being as he's such a great defensive stopper it'd be absolutely great to have him get back his offensive touch and see more PT.

                  Perfection

                  Only one word describes how we played last night....Perfect. We did everything excellent. Maintained high intensity throughout the game, hit shots, got Heytvelt involved, played excellent defense. If we play like this, we can beat anyone in the nation.

                    Zags always play well in high tempo games. It is the Butlers of the world that drive them crazy.

                      Agreed - I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere that WF was injured. Can ZagNative find a link to verify?


                      Better yet - can anyone verify if WF was at the LMU or Pep games. I don't recall seeing him on the bench, but I wasn't looking for him either. IMHO, if he is not well enough to play in the Pep game, he shouldn't have made the trip...

                        This game had a whole different "feel" to it than the previous game, didn't it? Night-and-Day difference. Even though the guys shot 63% in 1st-half, it felt and looked like 80%. Our approach and business-like attitude looked like the Zags of, say, 2002, 2004, 2006...

                          I looked it up in search here, and it was mentioned in this thread.
                          I heard the same comment from Coach Rice - that Will had a bit of a back injury and that's why he wasn't playing more. Tom Hudson had mentioned the fact the fans were clamoring for Will, and that was Rice's reply. Didn't sound like anything serious but that they just wanted him to rest it and get 100%.

                            thanks.

                            now can anyone verify he made the LA trip?

                              He was in LA

                              Will did make the LA trip. I think it's good they sent him to support the team. Classes just started today so I suppose he would have been pretty bored if they left him behind.
