Well, the first half certainly wasn't pretty. For a minute there, I thought that Michael Hall was going to be turning in a Stephen Curry-esque performance. Luckily for the guy predicting a globetrotters-style victory, Hall cooled off and the Zags were able blow things wide open in the second half.
Saw some impressive things from the Zags, in spite of their lackluster first half performance. They were active defensively, rebounded well, and were getting the ball to Josh on the block. At one point, I was rubbing my eyes and wondering out loud if I had just seen Bouldin get a fast break dunk.
What most impressed me though was Demetri Goodson. My expectations were completely surpassed on every level. His on-ball defense, quickness and basketball IQ were truly remarkable. This kid is going to have a HUGE future at Gonzaga. It'll be interesting to see how Few uses Goodson to complement Pargo. Opposing point guards beware.
Daye had a double double, Pargo had 10 assists and Heytvelt had an impressive game in spite of the mohawk (feux-hawks...really guys?). The Zags were tough defensively and dominated the glass.
The Zags return Tuesday night at 6pm for another home game against the University of Idaho Vandals.

The only thing sloppier than the Zags in their season opener was "Eggs" Ehlo's command of the English language. "Block shotters"--are you serious?
And the hawk really needs to go. Micah now looks as soft as he plays.
They really let up there at the tail end of the first half, but finished well, which can be difficult against a weaker opponent. I wouldn't expect a whole lot more from Idaho tomorrow. Sacre needs to get on the court soon. Will just doesn't have it.
Definitely should have used a picture of Anthony Michael Hall for the hyperlink of Michael Hall. Would have been way funnier, you dunce!
