per the STrib:

“Those two guys on this team, they’re fearless when they go out there,” Pitino said. “Those are the two guys — if you said who had off-the-charts confidence, that they believe they’re unbelievable players, it’s those two guys.”

But while Smith has the propensity to toss up some ugly shots, there is no denying he is capable of coming through in important situations.

“That’s what he is,” Pitino said. “He takes big shots. That’s why I felt that he could come from FIU to this level, because he had unbelievable confidence. You’ve got to live with some craziness. People thought, probably the first couple games, ‘What is with this kid?’ ‘But once he settles down, gets comfortable, he’s extremely confident. He just shows that when you play that confident, you can do really good things.”
