Notes from the sideline:

-Jeremy Pargo finally played up to his potential, 16 Points, 5 Assists, 4 Boards, 3 Steals (Minus the dunk that was blocked by the rim, is it just me or has he lost some hops?)
- Heytvelt was quiet on the offensive end, but his defensive preformance on WCC POY John Bryant was flawless.

What it means for the future (Analysis):
This is the Zags team that has final four potential, if they can play even at 90% of what they did last night they will own Saint Mary's and make a deep run into the tournament.
