Yet, in spite of all of that combined with the test of supplanting untouched extraordinary Cam Martin, the Lions (10-7, 7-4 MIAA) sit 6th in the association standings entering Saturday's activity against Northeastern State.
One of the principle motivations behind for what reason is the play of veteran gatekeeper Stan Scott.
The 6-foot-4 senior has set up Dennis Rodman-esque numbers to assist MSSU with conquering a three-game losing skid and power the Lions to persuading prevails upon Nebraska Kearney and Rogers State.
In those two games, Scott has counted a consolidated 32 bounce back, including a vocation high 17 sheets against UNK and 15 versus RSU. He scored 25 focuses in MSSU's 87-75 win over the Lopers, while throwing in 18 focuses to lead the Lions past the Hillcats 84-63 on Wednesday night at home.
"We realize we will get scoring from him," MSSU lead trainer Jeff Boschee said. "We don't have the most size. In years past, we have consistently had size and we have had the option to out-bounce back adversaries with our size. Presently, we are somewhat more modest. However, we are really athletic. That is what we want from Stan each and every evening."
Scott said Smith's physical issue was a shocker for him, yet for his colleagues.
"At the point when RJ went down, a great deal of players expected to move forward and be that next man up," Scott said. "We have a ton of confidence in our seat. Everyone is simply coming in and making plays. We can all go. It's simply sorting out the ideal opportunities to be forceful, the ideal opportunities to score. We are for the most part going along and everything is beginning to click for us at this moment."
MSSU has gotten consistent creation from players like Winston Dessesow and Christian Bundy the entire season, yet in the course of the most recent couple of weeks, 6-5 gatekeeper Avery Taggart has bloomed as a practical scoring choice for the Lions.
He's scored at least 10 focuses in his last five challenges and covered his new stretch of play with a vocation high 19 focuses RSU. Taggart shot 7 of 10 from the field, while making 3 of 4 from past the circular segment and 2 of 4 from the foul line.
"It simply wasn't his time last year, however like I said, it's been the following man up for us," Scott said of Taggart. "He has been doing extraordinary. He has forever been an extraordinary scorer. Presently, he's improving moving the ball, knowing the game, simply improving feel for it."
"You can see the certainty simply filling in him," Boschee added. "I realized he would have been great. It's exactly when. From going to Southern Illinois that first year and playing football to now playing b-ball, he returned last year, only sort of getting once more into the swing of things and attempting to sort out b-ball once more. It takes a tad. I think embedding him into the beginning setup has given us significantly more sturdiness. Assuming he continues to work, he has an amazing future at Missouri Southern."
In a season loaded with exciting bends in the road so far, MSSU may before long have another test traveling its direction.
Smith, who has not played in north of two months because of a wrecked lower leg, is near getting back to activity. Boschee said Smith might have played restricted minutes on Wednesday, yet he selected to pass on him with the score wild and to permit the lower leg to recuperate considerably more.
"It will sort of be a similar circumstance against Northeastern," Boschee said. "The entire year has quite recently been attempting to sort it out. RJ is drawing nearer to being solid. I feel OK with where we are at right now with Avery in the beginning setup. When RJ returns, we'll attempt to sort it out once more."
