No. 18 Kentucky and No. 11 Gonzaga will both attempt to shake off recent losses when they meet at Rupp Arena on Friday night.

The Wildcats are coming off a narrow defeat against North Carolina in which they struggled from beyond the arc, connecting on just one of their 13 3-point attempts. Kentucky has not yet registered a ranked win after falling to Louisville, Michigan State and UNC.

Gonzaga is hoping to recover after suffering the worst loss of the Mark Few era on Nov. 26. Following Michigan's brutal 101-61 beatdown at the Players Era Festival, can the Bulldogs get back on track?
