Mizzou star Dru Smith is back in Indiana for March Madness. How he got here and what's next

Missouri redshirt senior Dru Smith has been known throughout his time in Columbia for his calm and collected demeanor no matter the situation.

That trait didn't start under the tutelage of Tigers head coach Cuonzo Martin, nor in Smith's previous college stop at Evansville, his hometown school. Smith has been equipped to put the blinders on for as long as he's been in the spotlight.

Several years ago, as a premier Indiana prep basketball standout for Reitz High School, a younger Smith showed his composure during a game against Terre Haute South.

His high school coach, Michael Adams, will never forget what happened.
