SPOKANE, Wash. – The No. 6 Gonzaga Bulldogs (22-1, 10-0) beat their rivals Saint Mary’s (19-4, 8-2), 73-65.
Graham Ike made a statement return, recovering from his ankle injury to score 30 points, including 11-20 from the field, 3-5 from three and hitting all five of his free throws. This is Ike’s first home win over the Gaels.
Gonzaga snapped a two-game home losing streak to Saint Mary’s and now sits two games above the now-third-place Gaels.
Emmanuel Innocenti added a 10-point stretch all in the span of three minutes, and both his and Jalen Warley’s elite defense shut down Paulius Murauskas and the Saint Mary’s offense.
Gonzaga now hits the road for their next two games, starting at the Portland Pilots on Wednesday, February 4 at 7:00 p.m.
