Jaedon LeDee was a productive role player on the San Diego State squad that lost in last season's national championship game. Now the 6-foot-9 forward has emerged as an offensive force and the type of star player the program craved. LeDee looks to score more than 20 points for the fifth straight time to open the season when the Aztecs square off with Washington in the championship game of the Continental Tire Main Event on Sunday night in Las Vegas. Washington (3-1) reached the championship game with a 74-71 victory over Xavier on Friday night (we were on the Huskies). Keion Brooks Jr. scored 20 points for the Huskies despite 5-of-17 shooting. Sahvir Wheeler added 18 points. The Huskies shot just 36.4 percent from the field but committed only 10 turnovers while forcing the Musketeers into 18. We think SDSU shows up here tonight and does well. SDSU is a gritty team, and we think they can put their foot on the gas pedal and roll on Sunday. Let's roll with the Aztecs.
