LAS VEGAS — Tyon Grant-Foster and Graham Ike each scored 21 points to lead No. 12 Gonzaga to a 95-85 victory over No. 8 Alabama in the Players Era tournament on Monday night, the Bulldogs’ second win over a ranked team.
Gonzaga (6-0) defeated then-No. 23 Creighton 90-63 on Nov. 11. Alabama (3-2) has played four ranked teams, going 2-2.
Ike, who was limping in the second half, also had 11 rebounds. Braden Huff scored 18 points, one of five Bulldogs in double figures.
Alabama sophomore Labaron Philon Jr. scored a career-high 29 points, eclipsing the 25 he had against then-No. 5 St. John’s on Nov. 8. But Philon’s layup with 9:51 left was the last time he scored. Three other Crimson Tide players also reached double figures.
The Tide are without guard Latrell Wrightsell Jr. for the tour
