SPOKANE, Wash. – Gonzaga's
Graham Ike was named honorable mention All-American by the Associated Press Tuesday.
Ike averages a team-high 16.7 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. He is shooting 61.1 percent from the field. He led the West Coast Conference in scoring during league play at 18.4 points per game at a WCC-best 64 percent shooting from the field. He's just the sixth player in conference history to lead in both categories and just the second player since the 1980-81 season to pull off that feat. It's also the sixth consecutive season a Gonzaga player has led the WCC in field goal percentage in conference games. Ike is sixth in the conference pulling down 7.2 rebounds per game.
Ike recorded his seventh straight 20-point outing in the win at Saint Mary's with 24 points. He's the first Zag to have a stretch of seven straight 20 or more point games since Adam Morrison in 2005-06. Prior to that, he was the first with six straight 20
or more point games since Kyle Wiltjer in the 2015-16. Ike has scored 20 or more points in 10 of the last 14 games and has a team-high 16 20-point games. He scored 20 or more in 11 of the 16 WCC games. He led the WCC with at least 20 points in 16 games this season, which matches
Drew Timme's total of 20-point games he had in the 2022-23 regular season.
In the home win over Pacific, Ike made all nine of his shots from the field. It was the most makes without a miss by a Zag since Rui Hachimura went 9-for-9 against Denver on Dec. 21, 2018.
