Stef Smith - College Basketball News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Just nine minutes off bench Smith contributed zero points (0-3 FG) and three rebounds over nine minutes during Saturday's 85-77 loss to Marquette.

Impact Smith saw a brief stint in the starting lineup, but considering St. John's has used a unique starting five in each of its past four games, it's not too surprising to see that it didn't last. With the team seemingly healthy, Smith will likely resume a reserve role in this week's Big East tournament.

Rejoins starting lineup Smith will start Sunday's game at DePaul.

Impact Smith delivered 13 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two assists and one steal in 19 minutes off the bench Wednesday against Creighton, and he'll make his ninth start of the season Sunday. Posh Alexander will shift to the bench in a corresponding move.

Draws start Sunday Smith will start Sunday's contest against Connecticut.

Impact Montez Mathis will shift to the bench while Smith draws his first start since Dec. 3. Smith started the first seven games of the season and averaged 9.0 points, 2.9 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 23.6 minutes during those contests.

Delivers 12 points Smith contributed 12 points (4-11 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 75-69 loss to Villanova.

Impact Smith recorded his highest point total in 12 appearances and took a season-high-tying 11 attempts. The senior averaged 10.2 points through the opening five games of the season but was moved to a bench role after a 95-75 loss to Kansas on Dec. 3. Despite going 0-for-5 from three this was the Canadian guard's best performance since a 88-83 win over Monmouth on Dec. 3, when he recorded 13 points and three rebounds.

Available, but didn't play Smith did not take the court Wednesday against DePaul despite the fact that he was deemed available, Kevin Connelly of Fansided reports.

Impact Smith started the first seven games of the season for the Red Storm and was averaging 20.3 mpg leading up to Wednesday, but he ultimately didn't get off the bench in what amounted to a five-point victory. It's unknown if Smith was one of the positive tests that caused the program to shut down following it's Dec. 18 loss to Pittsburgh, but if that were the case, it would make sense for a player in his circumstances to sit due to conditioning issues despite gaining clearance. While the whole situation is a bit of a mystery for now, more clarity should arrive Saturday when St. John's takes on Providence.

Helps in gritty win Smith chipped in 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and one steal in 13 minutes during Thursday's 88-83 win over Monmouth.

Impact Smith scored as many points as he played minutes before exiting the game with four fouls. Smith accounted for half of St. John's six total three-point makes on the night. The senior, since transitioning to a role off the bench two games ago, has averaged 8.5 points and 1.5 rebounds through 10 minutes.

Moving to bench Sunday Smith will come off the bench for Sunday's contest against Fordham.

Impact The senior guard has started all seven of his appearances this season, but will come off of the bench for the first time all year Sunday night. Dylan Addae-Wusu will start in Smith's place against Fordham.

Assist leader in win Smith chipped in 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six assists and two rebounds over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 76-70 victory over St. Francis Brooklyn.

Impact Smith had a brilliant night passing, he recorded his highest total of assists on the season and only one turnover. This is a good sign he is coachable as he was never a premier passer in Vermont where he averaged 2.6 assists in his best passing year. At St. John's he has shown clear chemistry with Julian Champagnie, the two had six assists to each other on the night. In addition to all of the passing success, the senior had his best night shooting since transferring. He will look to stoke the embers of this performance into a flame against the Highlanders on Saturday.

Leads Catamounts with 27 Smith had a team-high 27 points (7-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 8-9 FT) to go along with seven rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes Sunday against NJIT.

Impact Smith was one of many players that took advantage of the opportunity to test his NBA Draft stock while maintaining his eligibility this past spring. Fortunately for Vermont, Smith elected to return to school, and the senior guard has improved both his scoring (18.3 ppg) and rebounding (4.7 rpg) averages through three games. He and junior forward Ryan Davis will form a dynamic 1-2 punch for a Catamounts team with NCAA Tournament aspirations.
