ORLANDO - On Saturday night, about an hour after the Orlando Magic are finished playing the Washington Wizards at Amway Center, the marquee college basketball game of the weekend will be taking place nearly 2,800 miles away in Spokane, Washington.
No. 5 ranked Texas visits No. 1 ranked Gonzaga. It’s the fourth time these schools will be squaring off, with the Bulldogs winning each of the prior three matchups. Magic center Mo Bamba was a Longhorn the last time his alma mater played Gonzaga. That game was played in Portland, Oregon at the Moda Center, the Trail Blazers’ home arena.
