Graham Ike Puts on Striking Shooting Display in Dominating Win Against Creighton, 90-63
One can appreciate when two of the most winningest college basketball programs over the last decade put on a home-and-home series like this. The sport needs more non-conference action with two similar offensive playing styles through their quick-paced approach. This season for the No. 19 Gonzaga Bulldogs (3-0), their defense looks to be better than […]

Creighton vs. Gonzaga Preview: A Test of Tempo, Toughness, and Depth
Gonzaga beat Oklahoma by 15 on Saturday and looked like a team with a ridiculous ceiling, still figuring out how all the pieces fit together.
