BREAKING: Gonzaga head coach react to the sudden departure

Ways to view the Kentucky basketball matchup against Gonzaga

Kentucky is taking a break from the demanding SEC schedule to host the Gonzaga Bulldogs at Rupp Arena.

Last season, Gonzaga secured an 88-72 victory over the Wildcats at the Spokane Arena in Washington. Kentucky aims to retaliate for this defeat by triumphing over their WCC opponent on home turf.

Gonzaga currently holds the 22nd spot in KenPom rankings and the 26th position in the NET Rankings, narrowly missing the classification as a Quad 1 win for Kentucky. Should Kentucky defeat Gonzaga on Saturday and if the Bulldogs perform strongly thereafter, the game could potentially be upgraded to a Quad 1 win for the Wildcats.

Gonzaga possesses formidable players in the paint, underscoring the importance of strong performances from Ugonna Onyenso, Zvonimir Ivisic, and Aaron Bradshaw.

This match feels crucial for Kentucky, especially with two significant SEC games against Ole Miss and Auburn looming next week. Securing a win over Gonzaga could bolster their confidence heading into those matchups.

To catch Kentucky’s matchup with the Gonzaga Bulldogs, tune in on Saturday, February 10th, at 4:00 pm ET on CBS.
