Graham Ike recorded a double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds as No. 19 Gonzaga rolled past No. 23 Creighton 90-63 on Tuesday night.
Braden Huff added 14 points and Mario Saint-Supery scored 13 off the bench for the Bulldogs, who used a 21-0 run to pull away and notch their fourth straight win over the Bluejays, tying the all-time series at six apiece.
Blake Harper and Nik Graves each had 12 points for Creighton, which committed 18 turnovers and shot just 37% overall, including 28% from 3-point range.
On the other end, Ike hit three 3-pointers in the first half and finished with 13 before halftime. The Bulldogs forward opened the second half with a pair of short jumpers and another 3-pointer to ignite a second half run.
The Bluejays couldn't stage a second half rally and failed to find consistency scoring. It was a tale of two halves after being down 44-38 at halftime.
Gonzaga led by more than 20 from the midway point of the second half on, improving to 3-0 on the young season.
