The kid they call 'Stix' is playing his best basketball at just the right time -- and will play a key role in the Terrapins' second-round NCAA clash with LSU on Saturday.
Maryland forward Jalen Smith battles Belmont center Seth Adelsperger for a loose ball during the Terps' first-round win. By Emily Giambalvo Emily Giambalvo Reporter covering University of Maryland athletics Email Bio Follow March 22 at 7:53 PM JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — When notifications flooded Jalen Smith’s phone Thursday night, the freshman’s main concern was what his father had to say.
In Naz Reid and Kavell Bigby-Williams, the Tigers have a formidable frontcourt presence to match the Terrapins’ duo of Smith and sophomore Bruno Fernando. The pair that best survives that matchup will probably determine the winner as the teams vie for a spot in the Sweet 16 game that’ll be played at Capital One Arena in Washington.
“He’s been up and down, but I think recently he’s been up more than down,” freshman forward Ricky Lindo Jr. said. “That’s good for us, especially this time of year. It’s really important that he’s up. When he’s up, we’re all up.”Smith averages 11.6 points, but he’s struggled at times. After Maryland’s win over Indiana, just three days after Smith’s season-high 21 points against Minnesota, Turgeon said he felt bad for the freshman, who struggled throughout a two-point showing.
“I always tell him just don't take a back seat to anybody,” Morsell said. “I like Jalen when he's aggressive, when he's looking to score, when he's attacking the rim.”
