To kick off their latest Big East showdown, St. John\u2019s fans were rallying around Deivon Smith.<\/p>\n
The senior guard made three consecutive three-pointers with the first answering back an opening deep shot from the nation\u2019s leading scorer and St. John\u2019s main enemy Eric Dixon.<\/p>\n
But, as quick as an excited jolt went through the rowdy 18,178 crowd at Madison Square Garden, a sense of worry spread just as wide and fast when the star fast break maestro went down with nearly two minutes left in the first half.<\/p>\n
Smith collided with Villanova\u2019s Wooga Poplar, hitting his right shoulder, while going after a pass, hoping to grab a steal. He was on the ground in the aftermath, holding his shoulder in pain, before walking off the court to the locker room.<\/p>\n
Following St. John\u2019s 80-68 win, head coach Rick Pitino said Smith\u2019s shoulder \u201cpopped out and popped back in\u201d but was not dislocated. X-rays came back negative and St. John\u2019s doesn\u2019t believe he will need an MRI exam.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe won\u2019t be out for a long time. Could miss Georgetown but I don\u2019t think it will be after that. But he\u2019s a pretty tough kid,\u201d Pitino said.<\/p>\n
Prior to going down, the Loganville, Ga., native was St. John\u2019s leading scorer at the half with 12 points, shooting 4-for-6 from the field, including 3-for-5 from deep across 17 minutes.<\/p>\n
His absence was quickly felt by his teammates.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, of course,\u201d Simeon Wilcher said after the game. \u201cJust knowing what kind of player he is and how much he means to the team. To have him hurting, it kinda hurt all of us. But, we knew we had to step up and it\u2019s kinda like a next man up. \u2026 Of course, we felt it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Smith came back in the second half only for three minutes while wearing a wrap around his shoulder and torso to secure it in place.<\/p>\n
In his first year in Queens after transferring from Utah, Smith has averaged 10.7 points on 43.8 percent shooting and is shooting 38 percent from deep.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe wanted back in the game because he felt they had no subs,\u201d Pitino said. \u201cWhen I saw he couldn\u2019t shoot it, I just took him right back out. He\u2019ll be okay. He\u2019s a warrior.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
