Foxsports <font color=""Blue""><div align="center">Gonzaga Bulldogs Starters:</div></font> <div align="center">(Pierre Marie Altidor-Cespedes, Derek Raivio,Adam Morrison,Sean Mallon,J.P. Batista) </div> Gonzaga is one of the best teams on the west coast if not the best. Led by Adam Morrison, they got 2nd in the Maui Open in a heartbreaking loss to UConn in the championship. Their key is to get Adam Morrison going early, and keep the U-Dub crowd out of it. Raivio needs to drain a couple of those three point shots early to give Gonzaga a spark to get their heart pumping early. A key player off the bench is the freshman, Jeremy Pargo, he needs to knock down shots and run the offense against this team. He can't let this crowd get under his skin early, so he better play good in the beginning. They also need to establish J.P. Bautista early, and get the Freshman, Brockman, in foul trouble early. <font color=""DarkOrchid"">Washington Huskies Starters:</font> <div align="center"></div> <div align="center">(Brandon Roy,Justin Dentmon,Bobby Jones Jr.,Jon Brockman,Jamaal Williams)</div> The key to the game is stopping Adam Morrison, therefore they'll most likely place their shut-down defender, Bobby Jones on Morrison. I think they can win this game if they hold him under 15 points. Then they need the McDonald's All-American, Jon Brockman, to dominate the paint early. If he can be effective against J.P. Bautista, then U-Dub will control the game. Brandon Roy also needs to be the Senior Leader he is and control the team. If he gets dishes to his open teammates and scores 14 points, I think they'll run away with this one. Prediction: 78-71 Gonzaga, I think Morrison is just too much for Bobby Jones to shut-down or even contain. Morrison is an elite player nation-wide, he's a leader that won't let Washington beat the Zags in this one. I think J.P. Bautista will own the paint, and won't let Brockman be a factor.
