Starts at PG again Smith contributed 15 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and eight assists across 17 minutes during Sunday's 96-56 win over Pepperdine.

Impact Smith had been coming off the bench for Gonzaga over the last nine games, as it seemed he had conceded the starting point guard role to freshman Mario Saint-Supery. Smith did recently make a good case for more playing time, however, as he scored a season-high 21 points on an efficient 7-of-10 shooting a week earlier in a win at Oregon. He then followed that up with Sunday's tremendous effort, needing just 17 minutes to record his second-highest assist total of the year. Saint-Supery appeared off the bench in this one, scoring five points across 18 minutes and adding four assists. It's unclear if the tides have shifted in favor of the more experienced Smith, but Tuesday's matchup at San Diego should provide a better indication.

Loses PG job, minutes dwindling Smith finished with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound over eight minutes during Monday's 95-85 win over Alabama.

Impact Smith started the first four games of the season for Gonzaga, and while there were bright spots -- such nine assists against Arizona State on Nov. 14 -- he never offered much from a scoring standpoint. Through those four starts, he averaged just 3.0 ppg on 31.3 percent shooting, and was dreadful from distance, going 1-for-9. Freshman Mario Saint-Supery took over in the starting five Nov. 17 against Southern Utah, where he racked up 16 points, seven assists and six steals. The competition was much tougher for Saint-Supery Monday against Alabama, but he managed 10 points, six assists and five rebounds. Meanwhile, Smith was held scoreless in just eight minutes off the bench. Smith was a double-digit scorer both seasons at Colgate, but it appears he'll be relegated to a depth role now that he's with what appears to be a top-10 program nationally.

Not starting Monday Smith is not starting Monday against Southern Utah, Theo Lawson of The Spokane Spokesman-Review reports.

Impact Smith will move to the bench since Mario Saint-Supery will make the first start of his career Monday. Smith has had underwhelming results with an average of 3.0 points and 5.0 rebounds through four starts this season.
