BEN SIMMONS TOP SCORES AS LSU BEAT VANDERBILT

Former Newcastle Hunters junior Ben Simmons has produced his second highest scoring effort for LSU – helping his college side to an eight point win over Vanderbilt.
“Simmons. Put it on a platter and laid it in softly with a great feed.”
“You don’t see that everyday. Not at the collegiate level.”
Simmons led all scorers on the night with 36 points and also grabbed 14 rebounds.
“Simmons with the drive. Whoooo. And he slams it home. Big Ben making a house call.”
The win helps the Tigers to a record of 8 and 5 and keeps them in the hunt for the playoffs.
“I’ve kind of been tired of losing and at that stage in your head you just want to be more aggressive and assertive.”
