The No. 1 Gonzaga Bulldogs and the No. 5 Texas Longhorns meet up for the biggest matchup in Kennel history, and an early litmus test for two talented teams with a lot of new faces on them.
Texas represents the highest-ranked team to ever appear at home in Spokane, besting the previous record of the No. 6 (!!!) Washington State Cougars in 2007. Gonzaga lost that game by a migraine-inducing score of 51-48.
For Gonzaga, this is the first of many quality games in the non-conference schedule. After tonight’s contest, the Zags will face a few easier opponents before heading down to Las Vegas the week of Thanksgiving with games against UCLA and Duke.
