The Spokesman-Review

WCC MEN

No. 5 San Francisco

vs. No. 1 Gonzaga

Time: 5 p.m.

This season: Gonzaga swept both games, winning at San Diego 64-63 on a late 3-pointer by Erroll Knight and then dumping the Toreros 75-59 in the McCarthey Athletic Center last Saturday.

Keys to the game: The Bulldogs need to find a way to free up Adam Morrison, the nation’s leading scorer, for a few more good looks against WCC Defender of the Year Corey Belser. Belser held Morrison to 16 and 11 points, respectively, in the teams’ first two matchups in the regular season. If they can’t – and the Toreros finally figure out a way to deal with J.P. Batista’s inside muscle – an upset is not out of the question.
