Smith Injury

After all that was said the last week regarding this “injury”, at this point if he does play against Xavier, I’m gonna say this is all a smoke screen he is doing about this “injury”. Throw the other teams off.
I’m saying it already. I don’t believe anything he says about injuries it’s like he just makes shit up on the fly. BTW love Rick love that he’s our coach.
 
Concerning. And leads to some questions...

We will need a good game from Smith to beat a surging Xavier team. Playing in a lop sided Seton Hall game was foolish at best with the up coming schedule. Players want to play, they don’t always consider their issues. This kind of injury can definitely screw up a players shooting. Considering Kadary’s lack of outside shooting and Wilcher’s forever slump, not a good situation.
 
Hindsight is 20/20, but tell me again why Smith played in the Hall game when both the coach and trainer decided he wouldn’t.

Team could use him against X and moving forward, but he wasn’t needed in a game he entered up 13 points.

The meaningless minutes he played may really hurt if he misses significant time starting Wednesday.
 
Concerning. And leads to some questions...

If true, inexcusable and irresponsible that staff listened to Smith's desire and couldn't tell by just watching him in warmup or practice day before he was not fit to play.

17 minutes vs Hall to get some burn?

Pitino gets an F for this decision unless he's full of crap and Smith has solid game on Sat.

We'll see.

Pitino is trolling us for the documentary. I am convinced there is a segment loosely titled “The insane asylum called Red.Fans.”

“And I’ll tell ya, Brady isn’t going to play again this year so I have him in an assistant role. One of his jobs is to keep me posted on this dreadful site they call red.fans. What an insane place that is. They never seem to be satisfied. Brady even told me today they were talking about my successor. We’re 16-3 and this is what they worry about. And he also says there’s a disguised UConn fan who says we are ‘same old St. John’s’ after every loss. And that there’s this silly fella who’s never happy no matter what. That’s when I decided to start messing with them”
 
I think before we get all crazy about it. Let’s see what happens Wednesday. Could be just Pitino doing what Pitino does best.
Let’s hope so because beating a hot Xavier team without Smith will be a tall order. They’re not Seton Hall.
