Following the loss at Santa Clara, Mark Few made a minor tweak to the Gonzaga Bulldogs' starting lineup by putting junior forward Ben Gregg into the mix while moving Dusty Stromer to a reserve role off the bench.

In the first two games, the change has paid dividends for Gregg and Gonzaga. The 6-foot-10 post averaged 10.0 points, 10.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists in the Bulldogs' wire-to-wire wins over Pepperdine and San Diego last week, while the team shot over 56% from the field and 40% on 3-point attempts in both victories. 

As for Stromer, he settled into his new role nicely with 11 points, five rebounds and five assists against the Toreros, including a 3-for-5 showing on 3-point looks.
