Notes from the sideline:
- Micah Downs looks like hes starting to improve his shot selection
- Ira Brown was the human sparkplug off the bench
- Josh Heytvelt never got established with early foul trouble
- Jeremy Pargo seemed like he was reverting to his ball hog ways, he should not take more than 10 shots a game
- Matt Bouldin definitely looked like the best offensive option down the stretch
-The team came out extremely cold, 9 days off might have had something to do with that

What it means for the future (Analysis):
It means the Zags had their first real test of the season, and despite not being as prepared as some would like, they did pass. It was a very ugly game, lots of turnovers, bad shots, and bad decisions, lets hope that the Zags can hang with a hot Maryland Team tonight...
