SEATTLE -- Markelle Fultz walked into the room Wednesday and was immediately engulfed.Of all the eventual NBA players Washington coach Lorenzo Romar has brought into his program over the past 15 years, none came in matching the talent or hype that Fultz brings as a freshman.Here at the University of Washington, coming in the door, I think hes the best, Romar said.Washingtons first regular-season game is still a month away, but the buzz surrounding Fultz -- a 6-foot-4 guard -- has been building for months. Whether its because of his performance as part of the U.S. national team at the under-18 FIBA Americas tournament in July in Chile or during Washingtons summer overseas tour of Australia and New Zealand, Fultz is the focal point for the Huskies as the season draws closer.Futlz arrives at Washington as perhaps the most decorated recruit ever. When Romar first made contact with Fultz, he was regarded as a top prospect, but not among the elite of his recruiting class. By the time he plays his first regular-season game for the Huskies on Nov. 13 against Yale, Fultz will step on the court as a presumptive top 5 pick in next Junes NBA draft.He understands the attention. So do his teammates.Markelle is impressive. He does things in practice where we might be on the sidelines or something and Ill look over at someone and be like, `Did he just do that? Is that real life? forward Matisse Thybulle said. Hes a special player.A year ago, Washington was an unknown because of its youth. And while the Huskies group of freshmen grew up quickly, there were still enough mistakes made that another March came and went without an NCAA Tournament appearance. The Huskies finished 19-15 and lost in the second round of the NIT. It was the fifth straight season the Huskies missed the NCAA Tournament, increasing the external debate over Romars future.For his part, Romar said its not pressure hes feeling, but anticipation about how this year could play out.We want to get to that tournament. We want to be the best that we can be. We cant wait for practice. I dont define pressure that way, Romar said. Ready to get going. We get another shot at this now, were going to make this happen. Thats how I feel.The Huskies lost their top three scorers from a year ago with the graduation of guard Andrew Andrews (20.9 points per game), and the early departures of first-round NBA picks Dejounte Murray (16.1) and Marquese Chriss (13.7). No returning player averaged more than Noah Dickersons 7.5 points per game.But Romar is confident the scoring void will be filled by others. Fultz will clearly take his share, with others like Malik Dime, David Crisp and Dominic Green expected to increase their contributions from a year ago.I think we can have more guys averaging double figures than weve had in probably the last five years, Romar said. There are guys that are capable of stepping up.Rich Dauer Jersey . SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. Ken Singleton Jersey .

However, their victory against a China side that is ranked highest in Asia earlier this week should give them hope going into this contest. India, who are ranked 53rd in the FIBA World rankings, enter the knockout phase of the tournament with a win-loss record of 3-2 while 25th-ranked Iran are undefeated so far.What do India need to do?India will need their defence to be on top their game like they have been all tournament. In their last two victories against Kazhakstan and China, India outperformed their opponents in the number of rebounds, steals and blocks. Their defence has been excellent and they will need to be on high alert against Irans powerful 72 centre Hamed Hadadi, who has been Irans most dangerous player with 81 points already in tournament.In offence India will have to play to their strengths -- converting baskets in the paint. Captain Amritpal Singh will have to lead from the front. The 69 centre scored 28 points and 7 rebounds against Kazakhstan, and 23 with 14 rebounds in the historic win over China. With able support from power forward Amjyot Singh, point guard Talwinderjit Singh and forward Vishesh Bhriguvanshi, India can put pressure on Iran provided their defence is tight.Indias bench strength came to life against China, but overall, the substitutes havent had a significant role in their run to the quarters. Therefore the burden will be shared between the experienced duo of Amjyot and Amritpal, both of whom play for Japanese clubs. In contrast, Iran have rotated their team well throughout the campaign scoring at an average of 37.6 points from the bench in contrast to 19.4 for India. If India trail, rotation might be kept to a mminimum, which will mean endurance will be another factor to consider.ddddddddddddWhat they saidIndia have good players and reaching the quarterfinals is a huge achievement. Iran is a good team, but they are beatable. India will give their 100% but the players in the center need support from the rest as well. Others have to chip in including the point guards. Against China and Kazhakstan the heights of the players competing were similar, but Iran are taller and India will have to compete physically as well. Their bench strength is also good. If India want to win they will need to play slow, not hurry and show composure, Jagdeep Bains, former India International said.Overall it was a team effort and they played as well as they did at the practice sessions at NITTE Campus. We worked on defence and this gave my boys more confidence on offense. Our strategy was to pressure the ball man and not let the first receiver collect the pass easily, head coach Sat Prakash Yadav said after India beat China in this tournament.Head-to-HeadThe last time the two sides met Iran ran out 62-49 winners at the 2014 FIBA Asia Cup in China.Previous resultsIran finished third with a win loss record of 7-3 losing to eventual winners China 70-57 in the semi-finals in the FIBA Asia Championship in 2015.?However, Iran won the FIBA Asia Cup in 2014, renamed as the FIBA Asia Challenge this year.?India on the other hand failed to qualify to the knockout rounds in the 2015 FIBA Asia Championship ?and the 2014 FIBA Asia Cup.?The FIBA Asia ChallengeThe top 5 teams will earn for their respective sub-zones an extra berth at the 2017 FIBA Asia Cup, which will be the first inter-continental tournament featuring teams from both Asia and Oceania (i.e. Australia & New Zealand). The top teams from the 2017 FIBA Asia Cup in turn qualify for the 2019 FIBA World Cup. ' ' '
