Come get your Kentucky vs. Gonzaga hype video!

Kentucky head coach Mark Pope talks to his team during a game - Dr. Michael Huang, Kentucky Sports Radio

Impatiently waiting for the opening tip in Seattle between No. 4 Kentucky and No. 7 Gonzaga? Don’t worry, we all are. We’re still several hours away from 10 p.m. ET when the Wildcats take on the Bulldogs inside Climate Pledge Arena, a chance to get back on track after the slip-up at Clemson earlier in the week.

Need help passing the time until then — or better yet, staying awake until then? We’ve got just the thing. Let the official pregame hype video serve as your warm cup of coffee to get you ready for the top-10 matchup.

We’ve got an orchestra playing overtop all of the best dunks and 3-point makes for Kentucky this season to go with some Seattle views, plenty to get you excited for tonight.

Take a look:

Feel free to watch that on a loop until 10 PM. If you do that, though, make sure you include the shootaround highlights from Climate Pledge Arena earlier this afternoon. Those clips include Kerr Kriisa — who somehow managed to get a buzz cut out in Seattle — Jaxson Robinson, Koby Brea and Ansley Almonor all splashing threes in the hours leading up to the game.

What isn’t included, however? Lamont Butler, who was shown plenty in the hype video but was nowhere to be seen in the shootaround clip. Intentional on Kentucky’s part or a sign the team’s starting point guard will not be out there against the Bulldogs? Let’s hope for the former.

Getting a feel for tonight. pic.twitter.com/v6jpHkpW2V
