MEMPHIS — A handful of things to keep an eye on tonight, as top-seeded North Carolina and No. 4 seed Gonzaga battle it out for a trip to the NCAA's Elite Eight:
1. Hansbrough vs. Heytvelt, Round 2
UNC forward Tyler Hansbrough said the 2006 game — when the Gonzaga center outplayed him, held him to nine points and led the Zags to victory — has no bearing on today. But do you really believe him? Hansbrough, the 2008 National Player of the Year, has been held to single digits only eight times in his career, and he has a long memory. Josh Heytvelt said after that victory 2 1/2 years ago that Hansbrough wasn't very aggressive — something UNC's top player isn't likely to forget.
2. Ty Lawson's toe
Whether Lawson plays at 80 percent, 60 percent or even 30 percent, the Tar Heels need their point guard's jammed right big toe to hold up against Gonzaga's Jeremy Pargo, one of the fastest ballhandlers around. Like Lawson, Pargo makes his team go. In tournament wins against Akron and Western Kentucky last week, he had a total of eight assists and only one turnover. Carolina needs another game from Lawson like last Saturday's against LSU, when adreneline kicked in and he toughed out 23 key points.
3. Danny Green's shot
UNC's senior wing has had a tough couple of weekends, shooting 2-for-25 in two ACC tournament games and 9-for-24 in two NCAA tournament games. Something's eventually got to swish, or the Tar Heels' postseason might be over sooner rather than later.
4. The crowd
Playing in Greensboro last week, the Tar Heels got the benefit of baby-blue clad home supporters. It will be interesting to see whether they carries over here — especially considering Hansbrough's hometown of Poplar Bluff, Mo., is only a 1 1/2-hour drive away.

gonna be a good game
Fri, 03/27/2009 - 10:27 — gvillegatrEvery time the Zags played a superior team this season, they lost. Tonight will be no different. Although, b/c of UNC's lapses on defense, it whould be close and high scoring. The Zags do share the wealth when it comes to scoring so we all know one guy will most definitiley get hot and go for 25 +.
I suspect Tyler will have a monster game. like Kenny said, he is long on memory and hes playing as close to home as I can ever recall.
not concerned one bit about Ty's toe.
ACC showing poor
Fri, 03/27/2009 - 10:05 — gjaluvkabut this is a good matchup and I think UNC will have a much easier time tonight than they had with LSU.
The Zags...
Fri, 03/27/2009 - 09:56 — google...will complete "ACC Meltdown 2009" this evening.
Melt what?
Fri, 03/27/2009 - 11:49 — heelsno1The Bulldogs had better know how put a big dose of zig with all of that zag stuff.
My sense is that the Heels will sustain energy and focus throughout this game. If I am right about this, it will be a long night for Gonzaga.
If Gonzaga doesn't play good transition defense...
Fri, 03/27/2009 - 09:54 — UNC1998I wouldn't be surprised to see 120-110. It's going to be lights out. If Lawson's 75% he'll be the fastest thing on the court. I feel he's going to be a big part of the game. His speed will keep Gonzaga running backwards, and quicken the pace to where they may not want to go. I've said and I'll continue to say...Nobody fills the lanes and runs the break like UNC. If Gonzaga wants that, they'll get it in spades.

Fri, 03/27/2009 - 09:50 — george32as long as ellington stays hot and lawson plays at least as well as pargo, carolina should be fine. this game could be 100-95!! if carolina wins, sunday will be another test for "the toe". nova showed duke last night what will happen if carolina has to go with a slow point guard.
