SANTA CLARA<\/a>, Calif. (AP) Graham Ike had 21 points and a season-high 15 rebounds as No. 12 Gonzaga<\/a> held off Santa Clara 94-86 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n Ike shot 7 of 12 and had four assists to help the Bulldogs move a half-game ahead of the Broncos for first place in the West Coast Conference. It\u2019s Ike’s seventh consecutive game with 20 points, matching a similar streak he had in 2024.<\/p>\n Gonzaga (25-2, 13-1) has won 25 games or more in 19 consecutive seasons under coach Mark Few. Few was recently named a finalist for the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n Adam Miller scored 20 points, Tyon Grant-Foster added 20. and Emmanuel Innocenti had 16 points and six rebounds for the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n As good as Ike’s was, the Bulldogs had to do without their star forward for three minutes late in the second half while he was in foul trouble.<\/p>\n Christian Hammond scored 16 points for Santa Clara (22-6, 13-2).<\/p>\n The Broncos forced the Bulldogs into several hurried possessions that had the sold-out crowd at Leavey Center roaring early.<\/p>\n Gonzaga missed seven of its first 10 shots and trailed by eight before going on a 15-7 run midway through the first half. Ike later powered his way past two defenders in the key to score and give the Bulldogs their first lead at 31-29.<\/p>\n After Santa Clara regained the lead briefly, Ike ran past 7-foot-1 center Bukky Oboye for a thunderous one-hand dunk to help Gonzaga to a 44-39 halftime lead.<\/p>\n The Bulldogs made just 3 of 18 (17%) from behind the arc, but shot 56% (36 of 64) overall, scored 66 points in the paint and outrebounded Santa Clara 41-32.<\/p>\n Gonzaga: Plays Wednesday at San Francisco.<\/p>\n Santa Clara: Visits San Francisco next Saturday.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.
