SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Graham Ike had 25 points and 11 rebounds in just 18 minutes, and No. 11 Gonzaga beat Eastern Oregon 123-57 on Tuesday night in a tune-up for the Maui Invitational.

Nolan Hickman added 12 points and Ben Gregg scored 10 for the Bulldogs (2-0). All 12 Gonzaga players scored and played at least eight minutes.

Huff continued to provide an early spark off the bench, scoring 11 points during a 22-10 run midway through the first half. Watson and Ike later combined for 19 of Gonzaga's final 21 points of the first half as the Bulldogs built a 33-point lead at the break.
