Coming off a stunning loss to Clemson, Kentucky Wildcats head to Seattle, Washington where they’ll duke it out with Gonzaga Bulldogs on Saturday at Climate Pledge Arena.

Otega Oweh posted 17 points and 7 boards while Lamont Butler had 16 points and 5 assists for the Wildcats, who struggled mightily from the field as they converted 24 of their 63 shots. The Wildcats are playing their first season since parting way with legendary college basketball coach Jim Calipari. The Bulldogs are 4-1 in their last five games, with their loss dealt by West Virginia Mountaineers, 78-86, in overtime. Graham Ike, the leading scorer (13.8) and rebounder (6.5) for Gonzaga this season, delivered a double-double performance with 18 points and 10 rebounds in the Bulldogs’ latest win vs. Davidson, 90-65.
