Carolina is headed back to the Elite Eight after a 98-77 win over Gonzaga.

Ty Lawson was spectacular for the Heels, finishing the night with 19 points on 7-9 shooting to go with nine assists.

Tyler Hansbrough also had a solid game for the Heels, registering a double-double with 24 points and 10 rebounds.

Carolina will face Oklahoma and the likely National Player of the Year, Blake Griffin, Sunday night.

The Tar Heels never led by fewer than double digits in the second half of Friday night's game against the Zags.
