Duke and Gonzaga meet tonight in an early season showdown of unbeaten top-five ranked college basketball teams.

ESPN will televise the game from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the second time this week No. 1 Gonzaga has played a fellow top-five team in the venue. Gonzaga (6-0) routed No. 2 UCLA 83-63 on Tuesday night.

Duke (6-0) beat The Citadel, 107-81, on Monday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham before traveling west on Tuesday to enjoy the holiday while preparing for the talented Zags.

The Duke-Gonzaga game caps off a full day of sports coverage on ESPN. The UNC-N.C. State football game, which begins at 7 p.m. from Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, precedes the Duke-Gonzaga game on ESPN, so there’s a chance the basketball game’s tip will be pushed back a few minutes if the football game runs long.
