Gonzaga Bulldogs gear up for a high-stakes showdown against the Kentucky Wildcats, aiming to secure their lone remaining ranked matchup and add another Quad 1 win to their NCAA Tournament resume. Andy Patton spotlights Gonzaga’s path to victory in Nashville, breaking down Kentucky’s injury woes—including absences for Jayden Quaintance and Jaland Lowe—and how Mark Pope’s squad’s lack of cohesion and recent struggles could play into the Zags’ hands.

Key insights include Gonzaga’s dominance on the offensive glass, the importance of Graham Ike and Braden Huff exploiting Kentucky’s depleted frontcourt, and why limiting turnovers and finding their outside shot without becoming overreliant will be decisive. Plus, Andy reviews his preseason predictions, calling out surprise trends in minutes distribution and free throw shooting. Can the Bulldogs capitalize on Kentucky’s vulnerabilities and build momentum heading into WCC play? Don’t miss this essential breakdown of Friday’s marquee matchup.
