Gonzaga is coming into this game with a 17-6 record this season and they have been great in their conference at 8-2, but they also play in a much weaker conference and lost 2 games they should have won. They lost to Santa Clara on the road by 1 point and lost to Saint Mary's at home by 2 points. Gonzaga has been a dominant team in the conference for years but they lost a lot of talent from last year and this team is not nearly as good as they once were. They have been playing well recently but they struggled in their 2 games against better teams in their own conference and they are going to have a much harder time on the road against a ranked team here. They are going up against a Kentucky team that is 16-6 this season and has not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 games and have been slipping in the conference at 6-4. Their 3 losses in their last 5 games were against quality teams in the SEC and they did bounce back in their last game with a nice get right game against Vanderbilt, beating them on the road by 30+ points. They also lost their last 2 games at home but have been very good there as they have still won 4 of their last 6 games at home. Kentucky is getting a break from conference play here with an easier matchup against a Gonzaga team that is not what it used to be and Kentucky will use this game as a nice way to bounce back from their last 2 losses at home. Kentucky will cover the spread in this game.
