"efore we crunch some numbers, though, let’s finger the biggest reason why Washington has lost four-of-five: the schedule. Stanford, Oregon and USC supplied three of those defeats.

"Josh Smith clearly is way heavier than his listed weight of 305 pounds. Coach Ben Howland said the doubling and foul trouble gave Smith fits Tuesday night. But when asked whether conditioning was also an issue, his reply was pretty curt: “It’s evident.” Look, Smith has talent. He has great hands, moves well for a big man and can knock people around in the paint. But his lack of conditioning and focus are pretty alarming. UCLA played better when he wasn’t in the game, and until he gets into shape and starts playing hard, he can forget about the NBA."
