Smith Injury

[SJUDave]

He got hit a bunch. Almost looked like PC was targeting the shoulder. He fell in front of the scorers table and grabbed his shoulder then in the 2nd half he took a hard screen right into the shoulder...was tough to watch. Looked rusty shooting, 1-10, lots of stuff short also. Gotta get his sea legs under him I'm sure

He played so much because Scott was in foul trouble all game. Smith did get 6 assists vs 1 turnover and 3 steals. I think this was a step in the right direction.

PC 100% targeted his shoulder. I'm happy the refs reviewed that offensive foul/moving screen (even if it wasn't ultimately called a flagrant). I'd rather Smith work out the kinks today than in three days

They were. One moving screen/shove had me worried, but he popped right back up. It was Cobra Kai level targeting.

By Oil Barron (built like a football player) and you are correct it was targeted

Towards the end of the game, you could see Smith start to get comfortable. He had a little extra hop bringing the ball up, and made a couple of quick, slashing drives.

As we know, once the Smith engine is purring, this team is on a different level.

Risk is correct about Smitty needing game playing time to get his game going after injury. He really came alive in the second half especially after Kam Jones took him out on a drive. While his shooting is down, his rebounding is back.

Uconn better not hope for the St. Liam to be the savior as he has been out longer and had no game prep.

Rick has perfect “lateral cussing” movement.

My guess is Smith is one guy in his neighborhood no on wants to mess with;

SJU always had a target in its back. The difference was the ones ready to pull the trigger before were us fans.

Dev Smith getting back into prime shape, shedding rust is so timely.
