Smith undecided for Stanford

UCLA head coach Ben Howland said on his conference call with reporters that freshman center Joshua Smith is a game-time decision for tomorrow’s game against Stanford at Pauley Pavilion.

Smith crashed to the ground and banged his head on the court, and he suffered a mild concussion and experienced neck stiffness last night. Howland said there was no issue in the verbal concussion test but that there was a glitch in the physical test. They haven’t made a decision on the issue, Howland said, and they’d see how he felt tomorrow morning.

Howland hadn’t talked to Smith by 2 p.m., so he couldn’t give a final answer.
