Saint-Supery Shines in Gonzaga Win
18 Jan
Summary
- Mario Saint-Supery scored a career-high 20 points.
- Gonzaga won its 12th straight game despite missing key players.
- Injuries sidelined two top Gonzaga scorers: Ike (ankle) and Huff (knee).
No. 9 Gonzaga extended their impressive winning streak to 12 games with a decisive 71-50 victory over Seattle University on Saturday night. The Bulldogs achieved this success despite the notable absence of their top two scorers, Graham Ike and Braden Huff. Mario Saint-Supery emerged as a star, coming off the bench to score a career-high 20 points, supported by Jalen Warley with 14 and David Fogle with 13 points.
Forward Graham Ike was sidelined due to ankle soreness sustained in a previous game and is considered day-to-day. Additionally, Braden Huff is facing a recovery period of four to eight weeks for a knee injury. Their combined absence was keenly felt, especially considering their significant contributions in a prior overtime win against the same Seattle U team, where they scored 52 points together.
Despite these challenges, Gonzaga demonstrated their depth and resilience. They effectively utilized second-chance opportunities, converting 14 points from 13 offensive rebounds. This performance solidified their undefeated record in West Coast Conference play, highlighting the team's ability to adapt and maintain dominance even with key players out.
