PORTLAND -- No. 17 Gonzaga (4-0) and No. 7 Florida (4-0) are no strangers to one another in Thanksgiving tournaments. A season ago, the Zags and Gators faced off in the semifinal of the Advocare Invitational where then-11th-ranked GU knocked off Florida 77-72.
Both the Zags and Gators cruised in their opening round game of the PK80 as each squad advanced to Motion Bracket semifinal on the backs of 27- and 21-point victories.
Friday's matchup, set to tip off at 8:30 p.m. in the Moda Center, will be the first true test of the season for each club.
