SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Tyon Grant-Foster scored 15 points and Graham Ike added 13 points and 11 rebounds, as No. 21 Gonzaga opened the season with a 98-43 victory over Texas Southern 98-43 on Monday night.
Braden Huff added 14 points on 6-for-8 shooting to help the Bulldogs win their 22nd consecutive regular-season opener and their 36th straight home opener.
Jaylen Wysinger and Duane Posey scored eight points apiece to top the Tigers, who never led after going up 10-8 early on a three-point play by Cameron Patterson.
The Bulldogs struggled from beyond the arc early, shooting just 3 for 14 from 3-point range in the first half. Gonzaga stayed afloat at the free-throw line (13 for 15) and on the glass, turning 12 offensive rebounds into 17 second-chance points before halftime.
Coach Mark Few’s team found its rhythm in the closing minutes of the half, going on a pair of 9-0 runs. Huff sparked the surge with a coast-to-coast finish before dropping in a floater to help the Bulldogs outscore the Tigers 20-5 over the final six minutes of the period.
Gonzaga kept the momentum rolling out of halftime. Ike opened the second half with a baseline spin into a two-handed dunk, followed by Huff's right-hook to stretch the lead to 50-27.
The Bulldogs expanded their lead to 82-37 later in the half off back-to-back 3-pointers from Adam Miller, who finished with 13 points, including three triples in his Gonzaga debut.
