Malachi Smith got the layup to fall.
Malachi Smith, the Southern Conference Player of the Year, entered the college basketball transfer portal Wednesday morning.
Smith is one of the top players in the portal.
Smith was a premier mid-major guard for the Mocs. He shot 40.7% from 3-point range. He had a big game against top competition, as he had 27 points and seven rebound against Belmont and then 36 points in a loss to Murray State. He had 25 points and 11 rebound in the SoCon semifinals.
Smith was named the SoCon Player of the Year.

After one season at Wright State, Smith transferred and sat out at Chattanooga.
