On February 7, Gonzaga thoroughly dominated the interior by recording 50 points in the paint and out-rebounding Oregon State by +9. Plus, the Beavers totaled only 10 points in the paint while shooting 44.2% from the field.
The Bulldogs sit in the 72nd and 64th percentiles of dunk and close-2 shot distributions. Oregon State, meanwhile, ranks in the 44th and 52nd percentiles of dunk and close-2 shot distributions allowed.
Gonzaga F Graham Ike, who leads the team with 19.7 points per game (PPG) and 8.3 rebounds per game (RPG), dominated the Beavers around the rim with 35 points and 7 boards on February 7.
Furthermore, TeamRankings tabs Oregon State in the 19th percentile for offensive and defensive rebounding rates. Gonzaga is elite on the glass, proven by their 34.4% offensive rebounding percentage (92nd percentile) and 77.0% defensive rebounding rate (97th percentile).
