When he went through it, We all went through it. So when he celebrates we Celebrate. Thank you UConn for giving kid from the Bronx a chance, and Thank you Dayton Faithful for always being there for him. #WereNotDone
Dan Hurley said it best: “Without Malachi, we’d be cooked.”
Malachi Smith stepped up huge with Silas Demary sidelined. The Dayton transfer brought defensive grit and energy off the bench. Mali knocked down a timely 3-pointer to spark the offense when UConn was ice-cold from deep, added a driving layup, and provided the composure needed in a dogfight.
Throw the nerves out the window, season is on the line. Play quicker, more aggressive on defense. JB gotta make some selfish plays to spark some life into this team. Its March, never over.
