Best Player:
Ty Lawson PG 5-11 195 JR
Lawson is playing on a bad toe, but has still be very successful. He averages 16.1 PPG, 6.5 APG, 2.7 RPG...Probably the best Pure PG in College Basketball. Hes shooting 54% from the Field, 47% from three and 82% from the line.
My Take:
I fully expect this to be a battle. The Zags are playing good basketball right now and so are the Tar Heels. Ty Lawson is hobbled a bit, but he still was able to drop 23 points on LSU. If the Zags can get out early and keep it close, we should be able to pull away in the second half. We have to be able to play good perimeter defense on the UNC guards, thats gotta be the key to the game.
Final Score: Gonzaga 80 North Carolina 78
