Head coach with high hopes Gonzaga's head coach Mark Few said he has high hopes for the frontcourt duo of Ike and Braden Huff for their 2025-26 season, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact In college basketball, there are very few players as proven as Ike. Last season was to see whether or not he could have been a proven option for Gonzaga, and he followed up the speculation with a 2024-25 season that consisted of 17.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game in 35 starts (33 games). Even with the March emergence of Huff, Ike is expected to be the Gonzaga team's best frontcourt option, and having that honor makes him one of the NCAA's most promising players going into its 2025-26 campaign.

Collects efficient 24 points Ike contributed 24 points (11-13 FG, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks and four steals over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 95-76 victory over Santa Clara.

Impact Ike has came off the bench twice this season, and he's responded with efforts of 22 and 24 points in the following game. He matched his best scoring total of the month Tuesday, and his season-best mark of four steals also matched his career high. Even though Gonzaga won't be winning the WCC this year, the Bulldogs are still tournament bound, and Ike has the ability to contend with any opposing center in the country.

Starting vs. Santa Clara Ike is included in the starting rotation for Tuesday's game against Santa Clara, Theo Lawson of The Spokane Spokesman-Review reports.

Impact Ike will be starting after coming off the bench during the previous contest. The senior shooter has back-to-back games with over 15 points.

Moving to bench role Ike is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against St. Mary's, Jim Meehan of The Spokane Spokesman-Review reports.

Impact The Bulldogs are tweaking their frontcourt for this contest, and that means Ike will come off the bench just for the second time in the current campaign. During his previous bench outing, a 105-62 win over Portland, Ike posted 14 points, three boards, four assists, two steals and a block across 16 minutes on Jan. 25.

Keeps on producing Ike ended with 17 points (5-9 FG, 7-7 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and one block across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 84-63 win over Washington State.

Impact The Gonzaga center was limited to 17 minutes last time out in a blowout win against Pepperdine, but he now has double-doubles in two of three games. He'll need to be at his best Saturday in a pivotal conference matchup against St. Mary's.

Starting vs. Oregon State Ike will be starting in Tuesday's meeting with Oregon State, Theo Lawson of The Spokane Spokesman-Review reports.

Impact Ike returns to the starting unit after coming off the bench during the previous matchup. The senior forward has totaled 61.0 points, 17.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists across his last three outings.

Comes off bench in victory Ike provided 14 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 16 minutes during Saturday's 105-62 win over Portland.

Impact After a week that saw Gonzaga take back-to-back losses in conference play, coach Mark Few shook up his lineup against an overmatched Portland team, and that resulted in Ike coming off the bench in favor of Braden Huff (12 points, four rebounds). The low overall workload wasn't necessarily performance-related, however -- more a result of a lopsided scorer that allowed Few to empty his bench. Gonzaga will need Ike at full strength Tuesday when the Bulldogs look to avenge a loss to Oregon State, this time facing the Beavers at home.
