Ben Simmons and LSU

[SpensBRJ]

Johnny Jones is good for a couple losses easy in a year.... both of these teams are very average and they are already standing and watching Simmons work.... so their offense is let Simmons bring it down and he either dishes for someone to shoot a 3 or he drives the lane. Probably took Jones a good couple months to come up with that one.

Ben Simmons talent can't overcome Johnny Jones terrible coaching.

 

[Bodvar Bjarki]

LSU just cannot stop penetration in order to catch Marquette. We should handle them comfortably unless they are significantly better defensively when at full strength. Our guards will run wild on them.

Marquette makes so many bonehead mistakes, I'm shocked they are leading. #JohnnyJoneseffect

 

[Montana81]

Simmons just choked a dunk but grabs a couple rebounds and gets to the line. Haven't seen him miss a free throw yet.

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

Marquette is just terrible.

 

[Montana81]

Marquette struggling with LSU's press now.

Simmons with 19/17/7

He missed one a few minutes ago I'm pretty sure. Was Simmons trash talking the coach?

Ellenson for Marquette is very good. Shame that he fouled out.

walk ons trash talked simmons

 

[SpensBRJ]

both of these teams suck.... and beyond dumb

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

even johnny can't mess this up.

 

[WitnessGreatness]

What is Marquette doing?

 

[fabcat]

That move by Simmons was WOW!!! But Marquette is beyond stupid, they have given this game away.

 

[Nubb16]

freaking 20/20

 

[Bodvar Bjarki]

What's Simmons got now... 20/20/7? Yep. scrub.

 

[UKDC80]

Marquette doing all they can to lose wow

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

Hahahahaha Marquette wins!

 

[Nubb16]

even johnny can't mess this up.

mommas wrong again

 

[Bodvar Bjarki]

I cannot believe they didn't go to Simmons off the dribble on that last possession.

 

[fabcat]

Simmons passes up 2 shots. No way he should do that. He has to have ball in his hands taking last shot.

 

[WitnessGreatness]

Marquette just got spanked by Iowa and also lost to Belmont too

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

What's Simmons got now... 20/20/7? Yep. scrub.

Hop off his nuts man, no one said he's a scrub.

 

[fabcat]

I cannot believe they didn't go to Simmons off the dribble on that last possession.

He had the ball in his hands Twice and passed the ball.

 

[Montana81]

He had it and gave it up twice. He's scared to death to take a jumper.

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

Rupp always said 1 guy can't beat you. He let the Pistol run wild, but Pete never beat Rupp. LSU just lost to a really bad marquette team.

 

[VAWildcat15]

The last ten seconds of that game. :flush:

 

[Shawn (uk7spd)]

Stupidly unselfish there. But he is going to be a star in the Association.

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

mommas wrong again

I spoke wayyy too soon.

 

[SpensBRJ]

Nice job Johnny..... have your stud take it to the hole...nimrod

[Bodvar Bjarki]

Simmons finishes with 21 pts, 20 rebounds, 7 assists. He could easily have had a triple double if his teammates didn't blow so many perfect assists he set them up with.

 

[permdaddy_rivals45705]

Johnny Jones strikes again. Simmons finishes with 21 pts, 20 reb and 7 ***.

 

[Tampa_cat54_rivals112262]

Wow. Terrible last possession

 

[Aike]

No offense but if you were watching the game you'd know what we are talking about. This Simmons kid is just a fabulous player in every facet of the game. He does everything... great. He's dropping some of the sweetest dimes you've ever seen but his boneheaded teammates are blowing half of them.

I thought it was absurd to compare anyone to LeBron, but that is who he is. That's really the only comparison. Not as strong as he's younger but he's also a little smoother. Literally a combination of Magic and Bron. That sounds stupid but yet there it is.

He's a rich man's Lamar Odom. Lebron is 2 levels higher as an athlete, but that's no insult to Simmons.

 

[Bodvar Bjarki]

Simmons gave it up twice to open teammates on that last possession. Can't do that. He has to want to be the man right there and force the issue.

 

[Montana81]

And honestly, they were both really good passes if it wasn't an end game situation.

 

[Bodvar Bjarki]

Yeah, he was cut off as they were not going to let him get to the rim and walled him off thus opening up teammates, but Simmons has got to be the guy to win or lose that game.

 

[WitnessGreatness]

You mean the LeBron James that lit up Trevor Ariza for 52pts 7reb 2ast 6stl 1 blk while also shutting down Ariza in high school?

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

A Michael Beasley type player with almost the same kind of team as Kansas St.

 

[UKallDay]

Thank goodness Simmons chose LSU. Put him on any team in the top 15 and they are the runaway favorite for the title. I thought the LeBron comparisons were exaggerated but he is LeBron on the college level. Could you imagine this kid coached by Cal, K or Izzo or playing with two or three high caliber players? Goodnight.
