Malachi Smith

ANALYSIS
Smith's scoring has been limited while serving as the primary ball-handling option of the bench for UConn, but he did record eight assists earlier this season against Arizona before setting a new season-high Friday in a game that also matched his season-best scoring total. The extended run came at the expense of Silas Demary, who battled foul trouble early, allowing Smith to get the hot hand. But considering Demary picked up a triple-double the game earlier against Bryant, he likely has at least a bit of job security moving forward.
