This really really sucks of course best season in 25 years time to get kicked in the nuts once again
Now they are being conservative...should have done it the moment he got hurt initially

Geez that's brutal. One of Glover, Ayo or Lefty is really gonna have to step up
Hopefully it is Rick mind games, if so no need for it imo.

Have you read some of the post-game posts?? This stuff is gold, Jerry, gold!
So much for Mean Gene being the voice of reason.

I'm sure he forgot mention that Smith comes back in time for the tournament and we make a miraculous run to the Final Four.
Smith missed 9 games for Utah last year also. Maybe he’s just one of these kids who’s injury prone? Great when he’s healthy but you can’t depend on him to play a full season. Other than with Mississippi State his freshman year, he’s missed games every season. Hope he gets back sooner rather than later and we just need Lefty to step up now. Time to take the training wheels off.
Pretty sure he was ineligible for those first 9 games which is why he may get another season of eligibility.
Back in the 2017-18 season, the season fell apart when Marcus Lovett injured his knee in a late November game vs. UCF. A few weeks later I was at a reception where Coach Chris Mullin spoke about the tailspin that followed. Someone asked him about what season might have been with a healthy Lovett. Basically would not take the excuse dangled, and said injuries are a part of the game and the team had to play better. The season was trashed but over 4 days in February we beat #4 Duke and #1 Villanova, the only bright spot in a horrible season.
Few teams can weather the loss of one of their best players.
Lavins initial campaign here was cruising towards a deep March run when Brownlee broke a finger on his shooting hand, and sunk when DJ went down.
Smith at 100% is a difference maker. If he was lost for the season, with Brady already on the shelf, could be crushing.

Jason Dimaio reliable.. ?
SJU might be able to make up for Smiths scoring but his speed and playmaking end up with his teammates getting makable shots from mid range in the half court offense rather than the long range attempts like tonight. Terrible loss.
Don't think it can be Glover this year. Teams have scouted him and they know they can turn him over if they jump him once he crosses the time line. Lefty on some 2 for 1 offense to defense subs and Ayo from the under 12 to under 8 stoppages.
