Normally one of the loudest venues in college basketball, the Viejas Arena was oddly quiet for much of Monday night’s anticipated contest between West Coast powerhouses No. 3 Gonzaga and San Diego State.

SAN DIEGO – A San Diego-based reporter asked Gonzaga senior point guard Ryan Nembhard if he thought he would be able to “drive and dish that way” against San Diego State. “Yeah,” Nembhard said. “I did. I’m not going to lie.”

Graham Ike bounced back from early foul trouble to score 20 of his 23 points in the second half, and Ryan Nembhard added 19 points and 10 assists as No. 3 Gonzaga ran past San Diego State 80-67 in a showdown of future Pac-12 opponents.
