History could favor Gonzaga over North Carolina
Posted Mar 27, 2009
It's possible that the 2006 game could even affect Gonzaga negatively. It's been the first question on a lot of interrogators' lips this week, a reminder to the proud Tar Heels that they fell short against a relative upstart. "That's definitely in the back of our minds," said UNC forward Deon Thompson, "something we want to use to motivate us and prove we can beat this team." So, just what the Zags need: The manic Tyler Hansbrough, with a mad-on.
