Smart said after the game that Bennett should buckle down.
“He’s shown great competitiveness, but he’s got to play within our system, do what he’s coached or you can’t win games,” Smart said as his players celebrated. “He didn’t get those chances until the defense stopped them and was lucky enough to stop them twice. He’s going to have to play better if we hope to win the next one.”
