No. 12 Gonzaga Thrashes Washington State 83-53, Sets Up Crucial Santa Clara Matchup
A day after sliding six spots in the AP Poll, No. 12 Gonzaga played its best basketball in what felt like ages, dominating Washington State at the McCarthey Athletic Center Tuesday night by a score of 83-53. It was as well-rounded a game as GU has put together in several weeks, evidenced by its largest margin of victory since January 21 versus Pepperdine, and the team’s third-biggest win in conference play.
The Bulldogs have a big-time game on the horizon, heading down to Santa Clara to take on the Broncos with a chance to reclaim sole possession of first place in the WCC this Saturday, and after a brutal road loss last week to Portland, the Zags notched a large win on their home floor before the biggest game of the season.

After the Gonzaga Bulldogs fell to the Portland Pilots 87-80 on Wednesday night, Gonzaga Bulldogs star forward Graham Ike guaranteed that what happened in the program’s worst loss in recent memory wouldn’t happen again.
The 6-9 redshirt senior’s statement was in regards to the team’s effort defensively three nights ago, but it could be applied to a couple of other things as well. Losing to the third-worst team in the WCC could be one of them. Falling to Oregon State on the road like the Bulldogs did last season in overtime could be another.
Well, neither of those things occurred on Saturday as GU (23-2, 11-1) put together a 20-point win over Oregon State (13-13, 6-7).
