The Good:

I'm pretty sure you got Karno and Pangos' minutes mixed up. ESPN says Karno had 26 and Kevin had 39.

The Good: 5 Guard line up

The Bad: The second Half

[Ezag]

Good-- too late for anyone to take notice on east coast.

[Zag79]

Good - Pangos and the bigs in the first half.

Bad - Not much offense from the rest of the team. Rebounding as a team.

Ugly - The same terrible 3 point D we always see.

The FUGLY:

DAYTON- 18 offensive rebounds....22 defensive rebounds...total 40

ZAGS- 5 offensive rebounds....24 defensive rebounds...total 29

The Start of the Grinding has begun
it is probably good for all of us, fans, players, coaches ...
except
the two bads,
we lost a game, and
in the long run it hurts our recruiting if we are not perceived as an elite, or near-elite team

Good-- too late for anyone to take notice on east coast.

Haha thanks. I know you meant the media but when I woke up this morning and saw the final score, I can't say I was surprised. I thought Dayton would present a tough matchup and I knew the Flyers would be looking at this as a good opportunity for a signature win.

If I could add more bad (as if there wasn't enough), it would be the lost opportunity to play some better RPI squads (Baylor, potentially Syracuse).

[VinnyZag]

Dayton scored 1.18 points per possession, according to the KenPom box score. That just can't happen. Flyers also collected 43 percent of the rebounds when the missed. So, when Dayton missed a shot, they retained possession nearly half the time.

The problem is, I'm not sure these issues are fixable.

[rijman]

The bad: When was the last time the Zags had 3 players foul out in regulation? That's probably the only game all season where Dower and Karnowski both foul out, I hope.

The good: It's good to be tested and pushed early in the season, that's how teams learn and grow.

[kyle dixon]

Bad: GU allowed 56 second half points.

[ZagLawGrad]

The BAD---letting a nice 16 point lead disappear before the half.

[Vanzagger]

Good: welcome back 79

Bad: Dayton had a little more organized bar fight in them last night

[exclusivelee]

From a superstitious angle:

Zags were doomed from the point they made a 3 in that game...

That was the 666th straight game that Gonzaga has made a 3pt field goal

[Zag79]

Good: welcome back 79

Bad: Dayton had a little more organized bar fight in them last night

Thanks VZ, just a little offseason break if you will... But I am back and ready for another season of fun!
