The No. 4 Gonzaga Bulldogs are trekking across the country into the heart of blue blood territory as they take on the No. 12 North Carolina Tar Heels, in the Dean Smith Center, for the premier college basketball game of the weekend.
The Zags are coming off of a disappointing loss against the now No. 3 Tennessee Volunteers, 76-73. Rui Hachimura led the Zags with 21 points, but also played a hand in some poor defense that resulted in the game winning shot by Admiral Schofield.
North Carolina, after getting absolutely annihilated by Michigan at the end of November, rebounded with a simple 22-point win over UNC Wilmington on Dec.
