MALIBU, Calif. (AP) – Przemek Karnowski scored 16 points and Silas Melson had 15, helping No. 3 Gonzaga easily roll past Pepperdine 96-49 on Saturday night.

The Bulldogs shot 58.6 percent and held the Waves to 30.2 percent shooting. They took immediate command over outmanned Pepperdine (6-16, 2-8), using a superior height advantage to jump out to a 27-8 lead.
Gonzaga led 43-21 at the half, shooting 63.3 percent from the field while holding Pepperdine to 8 of 28 (28.6 percent).
