Gonzaga star forward Drew Timme says Kentucky is scared to play at the Bulldogs’ on-campus arena, “The Kennel.” In his mind, it’s why the Wildcats instead pushed to play at Spokane Arena — a venue two miles down the road.
“I’d be scared to play here as well, have to play down the road,” Timme told Gonzaga fans at Kraziness in the Kennel this weekend.
At the time of the announcement, Kentucky head coach John Calipari made it clear the venue choice was due to seating capacity, with Spokane Arena holding over twice as many fans — 12,210 total — as The Kennel.
