EIGHT TURNOVERS FROM SIMMONS HURTS LSU FINALS HOPES

A tough day at the office for Hunter-bred basketballer, Ben Simmons, as his LSU Tigers lost to Tennessee by 16 points.

The 19-year-old started on the bench, reportedly for failing to meet his college academic requirements.

When he did enter the game, Simmons managed to pick up 21 points and nine rebounds.

But he was still criticised for a performance that included eight turnovers.

LSU dropped to 16 and 11 for the season, damaging the Tigers’ hopes of reaching the finals.
