Just a few days off of a very tight win on a very big ship, the Gonzaga Bulldogs embark on the toughest stretch of the non-conference schedule, beginning with a true road game against the No. 11 Texas Longhorns on Wednesday evening, at 6:30 pm.

Texas, like pretty much the rest of all the good teams in college basketball so far this season, hasn’t faced the hardest competition to start the year. The Longhorns easily handled UTEP and Houston Christian at home to begin 2-0.

The Longhorns feature an interesting mix of upperclassmen experience and some hyper-talented youth.
