-The defense was key, holding UT to 36% shooting and 29% from behind the arc, not the mention winning the turnover battle by 7, the Zags out-scrapped the vols, beating them at their own game.
What it means for the future (Analysis):
It means that our defense is top notch, that with it we have a legitimate chance at the final four or even a national title, i think we are the top team in the west and possibly the second deepest team in the nation right behind North Carolina. Keep an eye out for us all year, the schedule does not lighten up we got IU, WAZZU, ZONA, UCONN, UT, Memphis, Utah and St. Marys coming up...
NOTE: The zags are now #5 in the nation and #1 in the RPI.
