LSU freshman forward Ben Simmons is ineligible for the John Wooden Award due to academic-related reasons, according to ESPN.
quote:Simmons was on the Watch list for the award in February along with 20 other players. He is averaging 19.7 points, 11.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists on the season.
"From what I was told, he didn't meet all of the requirements," Tigers coach Johnny Jones told ESPN. "He wasn't certified by the school to be on the ballot."
LSU spokesman Kent Lowe confirmed to ESPN that Simmons "did not have the necessary criteria to be eligible."
