Though he only averaged less than one point per game last year Smith took part in 13 contests with a start.

UMBC followed its 2007 America East title run with a frustrating year-after season, finishing under .500. But the Retrievers did reach the conference tournament title game before losing to Binghamton , becoming the second No.
