SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) --- Graham Ike scored 30 points in his first game back from
injury and No. 6 Gonzaga beat rival Saint Mary's 73-65 on Saturday night in
their final West Coast Conference meeting at McCarthey Athletic Center.
Jalen Warley had 10 points and seven rebounds as the Bulldogs (22-1, 10-0) won
their 15th straight game and improved to 11-0 at home. Emmanuel Innocenti also
scored 10, all during a three-minute stretch in the second half.
Joshua Dent led the Gaels (19-4, 8-2) with 16 points. Paulius Murauskas scored
15 and Dillan Shaw added 13 for Saint Mary's, which led by four at halftime.
Ike picked up where he left off after missing three games with right ankle
soreness. The fifth-year forward scored Gonzaga's first basket on a left-handed
push shot before knocking down a 3-pointer from the top of the key to give the
Bulldogs a 9-2 lead.
They pushed the advantage to 19-9 when Warley intercepted a post entry pass and
found Tyon Grant-Foster down the floor. Grant-Foster spun through the lane
before hoisting up a contested layup that fell through.
