re: Basketball: Arkansas 74, LSU 76 | Final | TIGERS WIN!!!

Great win. This team is comming together.

Let's tell it like it is. This was Victor's game. He bailed us out time and time again. He gave 100% effort while Simmons looked half asleep at times. I really think Simmons has bought into his hype. He is a really good player, potentially great but he isn't there yet.

Sometimes I think he just thinks that because he is Big Ben that no one can stop him. Sorry, not anywhere that good. Got his pocket picked, shots blocked, lost the ball out of bounds and worst of all he didn't play defense worth a damn.

Letting that guard drive on him at the end and then foul him also was ridiculous. Just play back from him and he can't shoot over you!!!!

exactly. without victor we get blown out

Too many saying this for it to not have some merit

Too many rantards? Cause this place is full of basketball potential evaluation. Had a bad game and still posted a double double. Dude is fine.

I agree... You can see it on the court. Like big baby Davis said at half , he is not a point guard so stop trying to be one. Guards are asking for the ball and he waves them off and brings it to half court. I saw that too much last night. He should just run his butt up the court and get under the goal and be ready to score more. 5 turnovers , a few air balls and a failed attempted drunk thinking he is Air Jordan or something, the hype is getting to him also believe.

There are too many Ben Simmons apologists on the board. Anyone who thinks Ben is giving LSU his best hasn't watched the last 3 games. With that said, the team as a whole is playing better and winning some close games which is huge going forward.
