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.
