SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Graham Ike had 19 points and 11 rebounds, Tyon Grant-Foster added 14 points, and No. 21 Gonzaga beat Oklahoma 83-68 on Saturday night in the Bad Boy Mowers Series at the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena.

Gonzaga Bulldogs 83, Oklahoma Sooners 68: Box score

Jalen Warley and Braden Huff each scored 13 points for Gonzaga (2-0) and the duo combined to grab 17 rebounds. Freshman point guard Mario Saint-Supry finished with eight points, six assists, four rebounds and three steals.

Nijel Pack led Oklahoma (1-1) with 20 points and Xzayvier Brown scored 19. Derrion Reid finished with 11 points.

Ike sandwiched a pair of layups around two baskets by Huff to spark a 12-3 run that made it 15-11 with about 4 1/2 minutes into the game and Gonzaga led the rest of the way.

Reid made two free throws that pulled the Sooners to 19-18 but the Bulldogs scored 20 of the next 25 points to take a 17-point lead when Warley converted a three-point play with 4:18 left until halftime.

Gonzaga shot 54% (22 of 41) from the field, grabbed 10 offensive rebounds and scored 11 second-chance points in the first half for a 49-30 halftime lead.

The refs tried to change the complexion of the game calling a technical foul on Ike later in the 1st half - which also made it his 2nd foul sending him to the bench. All Ike did was signal that he scored two points. The ref must have somehow thought he was complaining about being fouled. But the replay was clear and the ref was wrong.

Luckily, this Zag team seems deeper than at any time in recent years. Not only did they sub for Ike, but the bench players extended the Zag lead at halftime.

If they can get consistent point guard play this team looks pretty scary this year!
