Returning Pac-10 freshman of the year Isaiah Thomas scored 18 points, though he and No. 14 Washington looked ragged throughout much of a 77-48 exhibition victory over Division II Central Washington on Wednesday night.

With three of the quickest guards around and a front line athletic enough to get up and down the court, it's inevitable that No. 14 Washington's games are going to look like a track meet. Sure they'll be quick, but the Huskies say it won't be out of control. "It's going to be as expected, but our team is a lot smarter than the average up-and-down teams.

The Huskies are sharing preseason top billing in the Pac-10 with Cal, which does return four starters from a team that twice beat UW last season.

In an interview this summer with SI.com, Thomas was...
