The Cats face their 2nd big test in the young season with a trip up to the Northwest to take on the Bulldogs of Gonzaga. Both teams are coming off tough losses earlier this week. The Bulldogs lost by 19 last night at Texas the Cats lost in double OT in Indy on Tuesday to Michigan State. The Cats did pickup a win tonight at home vs South Carolina State. It's hard to believe that one of the top 5 teams in the nation will already have 2 losses before Thanksgiving. The game will be played Spokane Washington. The tip-off is scheduled for 7:30pm and is on ESPN.

Zags will be up for this one and will win by 8.

Zags 76

Cats 73

Should be a good game. I'm curious to see how Kentucky performs in a true (or mostly true) road game and whether things look different late in a close game. Of course in a perfect world, Kentucky wins comfortably and none of that matters.

Something about like this:

UK -- 73

Gonzaga -- 80

Cats are a 3 point dog according to the guys in the desert. 

Won't be surprised it Kentucky wins, but I don't expect them to.  I think it'll be a good one, but going out west to play a game 2 days after playing in the eastern time zone, will be the difference:  Zags 82, Cats 76. 

I actually think UK wins this one.

Anybody that thinks Cal teaches teams to play good defense isn’t looking close enough 

Cats trail 12-6 at the first media timeout.

Nice out of bounds play Cal, really put effort into fixing needed troubles.

Cats are ice cold and the Zags are shooting over 72% and lead 19-6 timeout Kentucky.

Whew, can we get a rebound!!!!!!?????

Zags are now leading 21-10 at the under 12 timeout. The Cats just do not have any fluid or continuity to there offense. 

Another nice out of bounds play.
