Dixie State's Trailblazers looked lost in the woods at times this evening as they were steamrolled by the Zags in the final game of 2020.

Kispert (25) and Ayayi (21) led the team in scoring.

Watson, Nembhard, Timme, and Ballo all had highlights as well.

Who is your Bulldog of the Game ??

[Malastein]

Joel was best player, but I gave my vote to Ballo because he showed the most progress.

[ZagNative]

Me too!

[zagsfanforlife]

I voted Joel because he was the best player out there, but Ballo ate those guys up. Need to see it verse better competition but he was a man amongst Dixie State boys today.

Ayayi!!!

Kudos to Ballo for playing his best game so far. Great sign of things to come.

Kumbaya, we agree, though I voted for Joel because he just graduated, too. I had to go off the boxscore, won't be able to see the game until 3 PM tomorrow. That's how the cookie crumbles when they aren't on ESPN.

When the Zags play a team from Texas, the Houston affiliate usually shows the game.

Will be looking forward to see Ballo's progression as well.

[TacomaZAG]

A-YA-YI for sure tonight.

Best 4th option in CBB, by a LOT!!

[zagamatic]

Ayayi was Mr everything again tonight.

[krozman]

My heart says Ballo, but Ayayi clearly the one tonight.

[Bogozags]

Joel for the second night in a row and CK a close second.

Ballo made progress and hope his confidence continues to grow.

- once again my vote goes to joel. 4 assists shy of a triple double.

- fun stats
1. joel again leads team in rebounding
2 in last two games joel has doubled his 3 pt. shooting percentage to 30.7
3. from 2 pt. range joel is.......................wait for it.................... 34 of 46, that is sabonis like 73.9 percent! unheard of from a guard averaging over 10 pts a game.

If I heard correctly, Corey's shooting 75% from 2 point.

[Reborn]

Ayayi 21 points 11 boards, 19 points at halftime. He was really hot beyond the arc, and really rebounding again tonight.

Go Zags!

[kitzbuel]

Ayayi was 89% from the field. That is crazy. I love how he just seems to float into the play seemingly out of nowhere. He is so active in an understated way, always in the flow of play.

[GonzaGAW]

If I heard correctly, Corey's shooting 75% from 2 point.

- god God, corey is shooting 72.2 percent from 2 pt. range, 39 of 54.
- this is crazy. but it really comes down to how well gonzaga runs its offense, how strong corey and joel are at the rim.
- i think in tonights game the zags had 20 points before they took or made a jump shot.

[GonzaGAW]

- holy gaucamoly. inside the 3 pt line, the whole team from top to bottom is shooting 65.7 percent (263 of 400)

[zagzilla]

Ballo because he had the best game of his short career

ZZ

[Birddog]

Joel, gets my vote and just misses out on a 3 dub.

[IowaSERE]

Ballo with 17 points in 12 min.

Joel with nearly a triple double!

Corey with hardly any votes after a 25 point night.

[zagsfanforlife]

Sometimes I wish I subscribed to more mock drafts so i could view outside of Nbadraft.net which isnt reliable.

I am fairly certain we are going to have 3 first round picks off this team in the 2021 draft, possibly 4.

If I am a GM, I am looking at the early success of Tyrese Haliburton who was drafted around #15 for Sacramento. Ayayi I view with a very similar, do it all game, with the ability to play point guard, defend and rebound.

Timme have a chance as a first rounder too?

[Mantua]

Voted for Joel who isn’t phased by anything and plays hard throughout every minute. Loved his scoring efficiency.

Ballo is getting there. I am so happy to see him getting a glimpse of his bright future.

And Harris! I thought he would be a great addition but the star power is already evident. I was particularly disappointed when our announcers couldn’t find the time to mention Dom’s spectacular put back skying amid the trees in thé 2nd half.
