What it means for the future (Analysis):
This may not be the Zags best preformance of the season, but it is a good stepping stone as they try to rebuild their confidence. If they can beat the Gaels at home, the zags may run the table in conference this season. with two out of conference games left against Memphis and USC upstate, this could be a very long winning streak. Keep an eye out for the return of Robert Sacre, as he may be the key to having the necessary inside depth to make a nice run to end the season.
