23 minutes in start Smith closed Saturday's 56-46 loss to Texas with zero points (0-2 FG), two rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 23 minutes. Impact Smith was tapped for his first start of the season with center Moussa Cisse sidelined after going down with an ankle injury Monday versus West Virginia. However, Smith did not see any significant increase in usage, as fellow forward Kalib Boone (16-10-1-6-1) appeared to step into the Cowboys' starting center role. Smith did post a season high in blocks versus the Longhorns, though he's now attempted just two field goals across the past two contests. It's likely Smith will continue to play a limited offensive role even if Cisse remains out Tuesday versus Kansas State.
