The Akron Zips are braving the winter weather in Spokane to take on the Gonzaga Bulldogs on Saturday night.
It is the second all-time meeting between the two schools. The Zags last took down Akron in the 2009 NCAA Tournament behind 22 points and eight rebounds from Josh Heytvelt.
The Bulldogs are coming off of a fantastic win over the Washington Huskies and are looking to finish the non-conference undefeated. Akron bounced back from a loss to Creighton with a sound win over Coppin State.
