For the first time since February 2014, Gonzaga has lost back-to-back games. Their first visit to Chapel Hill did not go as planned and North Carolina dismantled the Zags 103-90. It’s the first time Gonzaga has given up 100 points in regulation since 2007 (Virginia).
The first half was a disaster. The offense missed multiple open layups, the defense gave up drive after drive, and the transition defense left so much to be desired. Add 11 second chance points to that and you have a 53-39 North Carolina edge at the break. It was the first time they’ve given up that many points in a half since… North Carolina scored 53 in the 2009 Tournament.
