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.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Graham Ike had 21 points and seven rebounds, and No. 18 Gonzaga pulled away from Washington State after a back-and-forth first half to earn an 88-75 victory

Sets new career high Ike produced 15 points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 13-15 FT), 19 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 93-80 win over San Diego.

Impact Coming off a 27-point effort Saturday at Loyola Marymount, Ike's production Wednesday came on the glass instead, as his 19 rebounds set a new career high. Both his scoring and rebounding are right in line with last year's marks, though one notable improvement that NBA scouts will notice is his outside shooting. While he didn't cash a three-pointer Wednesday, Ike is attempting nearly one per contest on average and converting them at a career-best 43.8 percent, making him a more dynamic offensive threat for a Gonzaga team with its sights set on a deep tournament run.
