After four games it seemed Mark Smith was a potential all-SEC caliber player. To start the 2020-2021 campaign, Smith canned 13 three pointers in four starts, shooting a staggering 52% on 13-25 shooting from beyond the arc. He led Missouri in scoring in three matchups, averaging 17 points per game, earning himself two SEC Player of the Week honors. Then... it stopped. Coming into Missouri’s matchup against TCU , Smith had only sunk 9 threes over his last 9 games. The drop-off has been dramatic and it was time for a change.
Due to his shooting woes, Smith came off the bench for the TCU game.
