Saint Mary's University of Minnesota Athletics

Smith-Pugh enjoyed a banner week for the Cardinal men's basketball team, averaging 20 points and eight rebounds in Saint Mary's two MIAC games.

The senior scored a season-high 23 points—one shy of his career-best—and added six rebounds in Saint Mary's loss to Bethel last Wednesday, before following that up with a 17-point, 10-rebound effort in the Cardinals 75-73 win over Gustauvs three days later.

Smith-Pugh shot 61 percent from the field (17-for-28) in Saint Mary's two games last week, while going 5 of 8 from the free throw line and adding seven assists, three blocks and one steal.
