What it means for the future (Analysis):
This was a blowout. Pure and Simple. The Zags trounced the Broncs by 42. There really was no point in this game where Santa Clara remotely looked like they had a chance. Steven Gray and Matt Bouldin had another couple of great games, both filled out the stat sheet very nicely. Austin Daye looks like hes finally broken out of that funk, he shot 8-10 from the floor and hit his only 3, he finished with 20 and 7. I expect this to be a nice building block to help the Zags see how far above the WCC they really are, this is a Final Four caliber club and they really do have a chance to run the table despite playing St. Marys twice.
