I watched every second of that SEC tournament debacle against A&M and the memories I have are of a double or triple teamed Simmons passing to wide open teammates and them missing EVERY shot. The fact that I’m defending a malcontent like Simmons kills me, but you guys need to quit making shite up.

in that A&M game, Simmons had about the same number of minutes, FG attempts, and FT as he did all season:

Season averages

35 minutes played
11.7 FG attempts
9.0 FT attempts
11.8 rebounds

A&M SEC Tourney game:

31 minutes played
11 FG attempts
7 FT attempts
12 rebounds

I would have a hard time calling BS a quitter at LSU. Dude had one of the greatest freshman seasons ever, then bailed on the NIT to be the #1 pick.

One thing is will say is this. He planned on bailing long before we were out of tourney contention. He stopped going to class the moment he did enough to be eligible for the whole season.
Also he was probably the biggest whiner ive ever seen in the PMAC. I don’t think it came across on TV but dude complained to the refs CONSTANTLY. To the point that being an LSU fan at the game you started to be embarrassed. When I think of that season all I remember is how often I thought “ bro shut up and ball”.
