Final Score: 70-65 OT
Tough Win. Not the best way to handle a team like Saint Josephs, but it will do. Pat Calathes stood out as a great player. His 24 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 blocks showcased his ability well, a do everything, wiry forward who plays fast and hard. It seemed at times he held the Hawks destiny in his hands. On the Zags side of the ball, Matt Bouldin continued his solid play with 16 points, 7 Rebounds and 4 assists. He continues to improve with every passing game, i personally think he happens to be the most well rounded player on the team. Austin Daye excited with 17 points 4 boards and 2 blocks, but he also made 5 costly turnovers; Most of them being traveling violations. At times it seemed he lost his composure as he did with Texas Tech and let his frustrations get the best of him. Daye is a paradox of sorts because he shines so bright, with remarkable ability and gutsy play, but at others he makes boneheaded mistakes and looks almost overwhelmed by the sheer pressure that fills the gym every time the zags play. Hopefully this OT win is a stepping stone that will prepare the Zags for their behemoth opponents that are still to come. There is no rest, for tomorrow we play UConn who is no small task followed by #6 Wazzu Next week and Tennessee and Memphis later this year. Overall i saw many things that i liked, but i am wary that this team is too young and may hurt themselves with costly turnovers and poor decision making. Either way, Lets Go Zags, Lets Go!

do you really think Austin Daye is the best freshman in the country?
PPG 14.3 | APG 1.3 | RPG 4.9 those are his averages, on a top 5 team he most likely wouldn't even start. C mon Josh. We people like gorden are throwing up 25 or more on a regular basis, you can't think he is the best frosh
i dont think he is the best, i think he is "one of the best" he happens to be considered very highly by many of the top scouts in the country.
