Smith has been strong in the few games his has played this season, averaging over 12 points per game with just under 2 rebounds and assists per game.
Injury issues are starting to mount for the Razorbacks. Sophomore forward Trevon Brazile, who was starting to break out for Eric Musselman and crew, suffered a season-ending ACL tear suffered against UNC Greensboro.
