Seems safely a long shot, so I won’t set myself up for disappointment.
On NCAA’s part or Smith preferring to move on?
NCAA. If he opts to move on, I wish him all the best.
He should until he is 100% or close to it. He is too important. We already have a 3 seed locked up.
Lefty locked him out of Trainers Room.
Nice Deivon article in today's Post.

Deivon Smith gutting through shoulder injury during St. John’s Big East Tournament run
Deivon Smith is ready to play through the pain as long as this season lasts.

Is it me or do our opponents aim to hurt Devion's shoulder??
Deivon has to learn to over or under a pick instead of trying to go through it.
Wouldn’t SJU set hard screens in similar circumstances?
Not to hurt him (and this goes for our opponents), but to make him feel it and/ or think about it causing him to be hesitant and to play tentatively.
I thought the Butler guy lowered his head and shoulder at the last second causing the impact. Perhaps the TV coverage shows it better. It may not have been intentional, but I don't blame Smith for thinking so based on what I think I saw from right above the play. It did not look like a legal pick.
I hope Smith can play with it. It's a big factor in these tournaments.

It’s a shame that he hasn’t been the same player he was a few months ago. I really hope he can get back to that form before he got injured.
Ty Grant right behind Smith
Saw Ty on the way in and he was super friendly as always and psyched for the Johnnie’s. Some msg security also wouldn’t let him and his crew into the suite level bc they had tix elsewhere…glad he got on the court as he deserves!
