The Gonzaga Bulldogs look to extend their winning streak to four games as they face the San Diego Toreros in West Coast Conference action.
The Gonzaga Bulldogs (12-4, 3-0 WCC) aim for their fourth consecutive victory to begin West Coast Conference play on Wednesday when they host the San Diego Toreros (4-12, 1-2 WCC) at the McCarthey Athletic Center. The Zags enter the matchup ranked No. 5 in the NET Rankings after winning their first three league games by an average margin of 22 points.
In their last game, Graham Ike scored 27 points while Khalif Battle added a season-high 26 to lead Gonzaga to a 96-68 victory over Loyola Marymount on Saturday. Michael Ajayi contributed 15 points off the bench; Ryan Nembhard finished with 10 points, 11 assists, and six rebounds. 'Every game kind of has a life of its own and the opponents are different, but this was definitely a complete performance,' Gonzaga head coach Mark Few said after the game. 'Our defense was rock solid against a team that came in very confident. They played great against Oregon State . So I thought we did a great job there and stayed with it through the second half.' Four players average double-figures in scoring for the Zags, who rank eighth in the country averaging 87.4 points per game. Ike leads the way at 16.4 points per game. The 6-foot-9 senior has tallied 20 or more points in four of his last six contests while knocking down 64.7% (44-of-68) of his attempts from the field in that stretch. Nembhard is No. 1 in the nation with 153 total assists through 16 games (9.6 per game, also best in the country). He has six double-doubles on the season, which is tied with many players for the sixth-most in the country. On the other side, the Toreros are coming off an 81-54 loss to Oregon State in a game that got out of hand in the second half. San Diego trailed by five points at halftime, before Oregon State erupted for 48 points in the second half to run away down the stretch.
