The Gonzaga Bulldogs face off against the North Alabama Lions tonight in the second to last game before conference play begins.

It is the first-ever meeting between the two schools, and it just turns out this is North Alabama’s first year in Division I play. The Lions are one of the worse schools in the country, and seeing what happened the other night in Gonzaga’s record-breaking win over Denver, it is hard to envision things going much better for North Alabama.

For fans, it will be another game without the student section and an opportunity to watch some of the bench scorers get some more minutes. For the players, it’ll be toeing that fine line between staying involved and ready while getting some rest.

Gonzaga has tonight’s game and a New Year’s Eve contest against Cal-State Bakersfield before conference play begins.
