Notes from the sideline:
-Turnovers and threes were the keys to the Dons hanging in this game.
-Josh Heytvelt was pretty good, despite the stats(10 points, 5 boards)
-Jeremy Pargo looks like hes become a freshman again, he cant put the mustard on his passes and at times just plain disappears.
-Matt Bouldin continued to be the backbone of this team.(11 points, 4 boards, 4 assists)
What it means for the future (Analysis):
The Zags were not horrible, however the 16 turnovers were. The Dons shot a scorching hot 64% from three and that really was the story of the game. Dior Lowhorn and Blake Wallace were a combined 9-10 from the perimeter. I expect this to be a lesson for the Zags perimeter that defense is the key to going far this year. Without better defense, this team is subject to another early season exit from the Tourney.
