Gonzaga will also come into Sunday’s big showdown vs. Kentucky with a loss. Last night, the No. 2 Bulldogs got walloped by No. 11 Texas, 93-74, in Austin. The defeat comes on the heels of Gonzaga’s one-point win over Michigan State, who, as you know, beat Kentucky 86-77 in double overtime on Tuesday night. Add in the Bulldogs’ 19-point loss to Tennessee in a preseason scrimmage — the same Tennessee team that lost to unranked Colorado by 12 on Sunday — and maybe they just aren’t that good?
Last night, the Longhorns were led by Tyrese Hunter, who had 26 points, including five threes, three of those coming at the start of the second half to put Texas firmly in control.
