Notes from the sideline:
- Starting towards the end of the first half the Zags went on a run and UConn went cold, that then ended with UCONN rallying towards the end of the 2nd half
- The Zags were Atrocious from outside...that was the difference maker in the game.
- Steven Gray was amazing, he played very well
- The zags had Matt Bouldin, Micah Downs, Austin Daye foul out right at the beginning of OT, essentially making them a 3 player team...
What it means for the future (Analysis):
Well for one, if it wasnt for that circus shot by AJ Price right at the end of the 2nd half, this would be a very different review, but we cant blame anyone but mr. luck for that. It means we hung in their with a national title contender, and honestly outplayed them for most of the game. I expect this to be a learning curve for the Zags as they still have 2 big games coming up (Tennessee, Memphis)
