Who shot 40x a game at 43%. That’s meh

If Simmons wanted to get 40 a night in college he could, at a 50% clip. But players aren’t allowed to hog the ball anymore, plus Ben was the best passer to ever play at lsu

Ben Simmons single handedly beating UK


You dolt. Simmons spent half the game on the bench with foul trouble. Tim Quarterman played the game of his life that night to lead LSU to victory.

Nobody on here cares about Ben Simmons. You don’t have to post every time he does something good. Every single one of these threads goes the exact same way

Simmons played 4 minutes less than quarterman and put up 14 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists to quarterman's 21, 10, and 7. So yeah, quarterman was the guy that night, but don't pretend that Simmons did nothing. And Simmons only had 2 fouls, so you can put him only playing 27 minutes on Mr. Johnny Jones.

I used to be a B.S. hater. I've seen the error of my ways.

I wish LSU would get more players like B.S. It doesn't matter if they poor mouth LSU later, put LSU at serious risk for NCAA violations, have a poor attitude, or play on a losing team. As long as they have STATS and cause national media outlets to casually mention LSU. I say come on down to Baton Rouge!!!!!!

LSU was so lucky to have a player like Ben Simmons. We should all be grateful to him.

He had similar stats here at LSU. Unfortunately, he played for Coach JJ. I think if he played under Coach Wade, this board would kissing all over Simmons' arse instead of bashing him like most people do on here. Johnny Jones did not do a damn thing to position his team to win. The wins we did acquire that season was solely because of Simmons and his amazing talent.

It’s a shame people still don’t realize how good Simmons was & is
we all realize Simmons' incredible athletic ability and skills (although he still can't shoot).

Our problem was with his (in)ability to lead our team to great heights. Stats look good on the sheet, but great players elevate their teams. Didn't happen here with Simmons (and he had some legit talent surrounding him, so he didn't have to shoulder the entire burden). It became crystal clear halfway through the season that he was just biding his time, and he bolted from here as fast as he could once the season was over.

That's why we're bitter.

I think it says more about the coach than the player. Jones' offense was merely a isolation offense for Simmons running point. No movement whatsoever. Simmons was basically playing 1 on 5 most of the time and still put up outstanding numbers. Jones had no concept of how to run out of bounds plays nor how to teach his team how to play team defense. Way too many people blame Simmons when all he really needed was a somewhat competent coach that could open things up for the team to succeed around Simmons.

legitimately one of the stupidest posts I’ve read on the rant in 2017


How do you just hide your time & play like an all American at the same time? So fricking dumb

You need the channel your anger at Johnny jones.

Simmons is the most efficient player to ever play at LSU. This is a fact. The fact that didn’t lead to more wins is on Johnny jones.

Did you know Antonio blakeny had like 8 open shots all year? That Ben Simmons fault too?

You watch any games this year? You don’t see the difference between these teams? That’s on the coach you moron
