Heels and Zags second act has more on the line
Posted Mar 24, 2009
Act II between North Carolina and Gonzaga will resume Friday after a two-and-a-half year intermission, this time with the stakes much higher than in round one. The Bulldogs bested the Tar Heels 82-74 at the Preseason NIT semifinals in 2006, in which guard Derek Raivio poured in 21 points and Gonzaga’s post defense stymied Tyler Hansbrough into just nine points.
