SPOKANE, Wash. – The Gonzaga Bulldogs showcased their 2025-26 team in the annual Kraziness in the Kennel preseason event.
The sold-out party welcomed a packed student section and rowdy crowd to see returners like Emmanuel Innocenti and Ismaila Diagne, redshirted players like Jalen Warley and Braeden Smith, and new players like Mario Saint-Supery and Adam Miller.
Steele Venters, who missed the past two seasons with knee injuries, won the three-point contest and shot 3-4 from deep in the Blue-White scrimmage.
Returning iconic duo Graham Ike and Braden Huff dazzled, the two combining for 25 points and 17 rebounds.
Head coach Mark Few spoke to the media postgame on their performance together in the offseason and into this year.
“But yeah, they got a good synergy together, they play well together, they connected on a couple nice high-lows, they even connected on a couple short passes inside big-to-big, so I think you’ll see a lot of that this year,” Few said. “They’re going to get a lot of touches, a lot of opportunities, because they’re, I think they’re the best tandem there is in college basketball.”
Huff added, talking about how he feels his relationship with Ike and the rest of the team has grown into this season.
“Graham’s, I said out there, Graham’s super easy to play with, all these guys are super easy to play with,” Huff said. “It’s a fun group.”
Gonzaga opens their 2025-26 season against the Texas Southern Tigers on November 3.
