Nope. Simmons has elite ball skills. Poythress has never been a very solid man defender. Poythress is an elite rebounder though. But so far, Poythress isn't even starting. It generally takes more than a year to get back to 100% after an ACL.

I've always thought Poythress was a pretty good defender. It's obvious the kid aint at 100% yet and he may not be at any point this year, but if he does, he will do a decent job on Simmons. No one guy is going to stop this kid. Simmons has talent and is for real, but basketball is a team game and one guy won't beat you. He will get his, but Poythress at 100% would do the best job of any forward in the country guarding this kid imo.

It is good to see a little spark from a program that has been down. Much like when Florida was going to take over the SEC. Oh! what happened?

AND WHERE ARE ALL OF THOSE FLORIDA FANS?

3 of the biggest POS posters that have ever graced this site. Didn't you know? Stingray is a fan of both, when UK sucks.

I'll even give you the sport you're good at.

LSU football shirt - "beat Alabama"

Kentucky basketball - "beat everyone

The difference in real tradition.

All I ask is that those teams, for once, please play everyone else with close to the same passion as they play with when UK is the opponent. It's sickening to watch these teams play out of their minds against UK then play like they don't care and almost lose to Auburn.

Well, so far our guys seemed to play Austin Peay with an intensity as though Kentucky was the opponent.... :)

Should have been fired after the 2012-2013 when a team full of 5 stars didn't even make the tourney and got bounced out of the NIT

Good ol coach Cal couldn't even make the tourney with this roster

Darius Miller 1 G 6'8" 235 Senior Maysville, Kentucky Graduated/Entered 2012 NBA Draft
Terrence Jones 3 F 6'9" 252 Sophomore Portland, Oregon Entered 2012 NBA Draft
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist 14 F 6'7" 232 Freshman Somerdale, New Jersey Entered 2012 NBA Draft
Doron Lamb 20 G 6'4" 210 Sophomore Queens, New York Entered 2012 NBA Draft
Anthony Davis 23 C 6'10" 220 Freshman Chicago, Illinois Entered 2012 NBA Draft
Marquis Teague 25 G 6'2" 189 Freshman Indianapolis, Indiana Entered 2012 NBA Draft
Eloy Vargas

You should delete this post. Its embarrassing.

Nerleans Noel, Willie Cauley-Stein, Alex Poythreess, Kyle Wiljier, Archie Goodwin. 3 5 stars and a 4 star and he couldn't even get a tourney bid

If Johnny was coaching they would have made the sweet 16. Coach Cal l is a joke.

Simmons is a special player, for sure. LSU got a great one. He will go #1 in the draft and be a star in the NBA. He is ready to play there now.
It will be a catfight in Baton Rouge for the Cats and Tigers. I look for LSU to give them a battle in both games. Blakeney is also very good, along with Hornsby and Quarterman. They should definitely make it to the Sweet 16 with that group.

Yeah. Jones is awesome. Nice work last night.

Like I said... he's the worst coach in Div 1 basketball.

Coach did a great job last night. Ben will take the last shot next time he is in that position

No he didnt do a good job. He has way more talent than Marquette. Any other coach in america would do better with that much talent.

If he did a great job, and you still lost to a team that went 13-19 last year and lost their home opener to Belmont this year, what does that say about your program?

If you want to troll this board, don't go full retard (like posting the roster of the 38-2 National Title team and talking about how Cal missed the tourney with them- that's not just full retard, it's mega-colossal-gargantuan retard. Like the Godzilla of retard trolling). There's entertainment value in it, but people will grow tired of it, and you won't last.

LSU has the best player in the nation ......... When Cal had the best player in the nation, we won the title. Lets see if Jones can duplicate that.

SPOILERS!!!!!!!! LSU does not win the title.

Their post play is weak, even with Benny Almighty. Talk about a slurp fest. It's aggravating me. I imagine NC State fans are losing their minds over this. This is HARDLY an analysis of the game itself.

LSU's offensive ball movement is terrible. Every player over-dribbles, no dribble-penetration, no floor spacing when players actually move, etc.

Johnny Jones is a horrible coach.

Lsu is complete garbage. Johnny Jones is beyond horrible as a coach just a decent recruiter. I feel somewhat bad for Simmons. His team is complete garbage. They'll play like the greatest team of all time against us though.

With all that talent Coach Jones just has to roll the ball out for them right? He isn't rolling that ball out very well, apparently.

Poythress is a great rebounder, but has never been the kind of defender that can check an athlete like Simmons. But LSU won't be able to check Labissiere and Murray either. Simmons might score 40, but I think we win.

Held his man to 12% shooting last year. Maybe stop your matter-of-fact posts until you learn a little bit about basketball.

I think LSU has a good swim team....no basketball titles...1-2 in football but now are chasing Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss and Arkansas in the West. They won't be relavant for a while. Simmons is a great player but as Bobby Knight said many years ago when playing LSU he felt much better when he looked down the bench and saw Dale Brown....while LSU will be tough at home they will be no factor on the road or in the tourney because Jones is on the bench.

I am pretty sure they have 3 titles in football, not "1-2" lol.

Simmons would have a triple double today if he had a normal scoring day. 16 rebounds and 10 assists. LSU is back on top.

Simmons is clearly the best player in the country but LSU doesn't scare me one bit. They might play out of their minds and nip us in Baton Rouge but there's no way in hell a Johnny Jones coached team even sniffs so much as the Sweet 16 come tourney time.
