SIMMONS SHOWS HIS SKILLS IN US

Hunter-bred basketballer Ben Simmons has provided an emphatic response, following LSU’s loss to Oklahoma State, when the Tigers blew a 17-point lead.

Louisiana State easily overcame Auburn this morning, with Simmons putting the exclamation point on the win.

The 19-year-old was criticised for not being more assertive in Sunday’s loss, but this time around, he displayed his full set of skills.

Simmons finished with 21 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists as the Tigers improved their record to 14 and eight for the US college season.
