re: Ben Simmons has grown 2" since leaving LSU

The Oklahoma game was shocking. Vitale and Musberger (I believe it was him) were begging, and I mean BEGGING, Simmons to step up. But he never did, and we watched Hield take over, like great players and leaders do. When Dickie V criticizes a player, you know it's bad, because Vitale has made a career of blowing players and coaches.

Simmons also passed up a game-winning shot against Marquette earlier in the year. Even the female color analyst couldn't believe it.

To be fair, Heild was an upperclassmen.

And for Marquette, he was a freshman PF with an average shot at best so he probably thought it best someone else take it. And in that game he had 23/20 sooo I don't think that rests on him.

People seem to forget he was a freshman.
