GRAHAM IKE NEWS

Quiet in Zags' first loss Ike ended with five points (1-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and one block across 14 minutes during Wednesday's 86-78 OT loss to West Virginia.

Impact While Ike has started all six games at center for the previously-undefeated Bulldogs, he has yet to see the court for more than 21 minutes in a single contest, which explains why both his scoring and rebounding numbers are down from a year ago. Both Braden Huff and Ben Gregg have eaten into his playing time considerably, as the two forwards logged 30 and 26 minutes Wednesday, respectively. Ike essentially sat for most of the second half despite not being in any sort of foul trouble, and given the end result, it wouldn't be surprising to see him get more run Thursday against Indiana in the Battle 4 Atlantis.

Battles on interior in loss Ike had 12 points (3-10 FG, 6-11 FT), five rebounds, one assist and a block in Saturday's exhibition loss to USC.

Impact It wasn't Ike's best shooting night, but he really battled against a thin USC frontcourt drawing eight fouls in this contest. Ben Gregg got the start in the frontcourt alongside Ike, but Michael Ajayi played the majority of the minutes at power forward with Nolan Hickman coming off the bench to join Ryan Nembhard and Khalif Battle in the backcourt. There are shooting threats all around for Gonzaga this season and Ike should have a lot of room to work. Ike has a big matchup with Norchad Omier in the regular season-opener on Nov. 4 against Baylor.

Expected to have preseason honor Ike is expected to enter Gonzaga's 2024-25 season as a Preseason All-American, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Ike transferred from Wyoming to Gonzaga during the summer of 2023. A year later, it is safe to say the relatively big move has paid off, especially after how well he played during his 2023-24 season. Ike averaged 16.5 points and 7.4 rebounds across 35 games he started then. He was highly efficient as well, logging the scoring rate on 60.9/36.8/78.4 shooting splits and doing so in under 25 minutes per matchup.

Major boost for Zags Ike ended with 26 points (9-12 FG, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 28 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 86-68 win over San Francisco.

Impact With multiple analysts putting Gonzaga on the NCAA Tournament bubble, Ike has single-handedly helped the Bulldogs put multiple stamps on their resume late in the year. Gonzaga has now won seven in a row to improve its WCC record to 13-2 -- a stretch that includes both this signature victory and another one against Kentucky back on Feb. 10. Ike himself has six consecutive games with 20 or more points, averaging 23.2 ppg on 67.9 percent shooting over that impressive run. After redshirting the previous season due to injury, Ike is fully back in form, providing elite production for a Gonzaga squad that might be flying under the radar heading into the postseason.
