Graham Ike Has 19 Points and 11 Rebounds, No. 21 Gonzaga Beats Oklahoma 83-68
Gonzaga's Graham Ike recorded 19 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Bulldogs to an 83-68 win over Oklahoma in their early season nonconference matchup.
On Saturday, the Gonzaga Bulldogs defeated the Oklahoma Sooners 83-68 at the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena, extending their winning streak to three games against the Sooners.
Porter Moser's Oklahoma Sooners entered a high-profile nonconference test at 1-0, rebuilding after losing starters and adding a top-rated transfer class including Xzayvier Brown and Nijel Pack.
Gonzaga shot 54% from the field, with Graham Ike scoring 19 points and 11 rebounds while Jalen Warley and Braden Huff each had 13 points and combined for 17 rebounds as Mario Saint-Supry added eight points, six assists, four rebounds and three steals.
With the win, Gonzaga improved to 2-0 while Oklahoma fell to 1, and Oklahoma faces Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Tuesday, with Creighton next at Gonzaga.
Amid early-season play, Gonzaga's frontcourt emphasizes interior scoring, with Tyon Grant-Foster's prior Spokane performance of 51 points and 15 rebounds giving him venue familiarity.
