What they’re saying
“A lot of great constructive criticism. I think we responded well. It's also been a lot of positive energy despite the loss. We got back to who we are tonight. We wanted to make sure we understood and remembered who we are and how we got to this point. I think we did a great job responding.”
— Graham Ike
“I liked every single matchup that was on me tonight. I thought we could exploit mismatches in a lot of different areas and we did. I didn't know I played 39, I felt great honestly. I feel great right now. Can't wait to get some ice and some heat. But shout out to the guys for the relentless effort all 40 minutes.”
— Graham Ike
“I haven't really played the four position in a while with this team, but now that I'm back here playing I'm getting back comfortable playing, getting the dunk outs and everything.”
— Tyon Grant-Foster
“I wish I could take my one turnover away. It's great, we took great care of the ball and that ultimately helped us get that 20 point dub. We've been taking really good care of the ball this year and that's something we pride ourselves on. So kudos to the whole team for that.”
— Graham Ike
“Just be more connected, communicate more, be more aligned on both ends of the floor, especially defensively. We have to hang our hard hats on defense, we've been saying it since the beginning of the season. We had to be more locked in on that end, and we were.”
— Graham Ike
What’s next
Gonzaga will host Washington State on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, looking to continue their strong conference play.
The takeaway
Gonzaga's ability to quickly bounce back from an unexpected loss and deliver a dominant road performance against a tough Pac-12 opponent demonstrates the team's resilience and championship pedigree as they look to maintain their position atop the conference standings.
