Box Score

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Ronny Turiaf came off the bench to score 18 points as Gonzaga trounced Portland State 87-49 on Thursday.

Richard Fox and Josh Reisman added 12 points each and 11 players reached the scoring column for the Bulldogs (9-5).

Jeb Ivey led Portland State (2-10) with 13 points and Kevin Briggs added 12 points for the Vikings, who have lost six straight.

It was never a game as Gonzaga overwhelmed the Vikings, who dressed just nine players because forward Seth Scott was suspended for violating a team rule.

The Bulldogs scored the game's first six points, built a 14-3 lead and then sealed the blowout with a 34-4 run that spanned both halves, including a 15-1 spurt to start the second half.

The Bulldogs shot 57 percent and limited Portland State to 30 percent. The Vikings also committed 30 turnovers.
