Who would have thought this game would be as important as it is? Can't wait for Wed night
I've watched Simmons play a good bit and he's damn good. I'm glad we have this game at home. Should be a great atmosphere. Looking forward to arguing with you, LSU fans

Oughta be a hell of a game, not looking forward to facing Simmons tho.

I'd pay money for the game to end in a tie.

Excited. The teams should be pumped and both are playing good basketball going into it. SC has been my second favorite team to watch in the SC this season. Who do you guys think willnl guard Simmons? Thronwell? Carrera?

I would imagine Carrera because he plays more physically than anyone else. But I could be wrong
Posted on 2/7/16 at 8:43 am to CNB
I really hope carrera guards him because Ben is really good at getting people in foul trouble

Technically it could happen, but the way the rule is written, as many OT periods are allowed until a winner emerges. However, if there was some unforseen event that made play impossible (like Carr3ra breaks all the available rims in the building) then technically they could call it a tie.

I'd pay money to have Georgia mediocre in all three big sports.

You're just so angsty. Is there a problem you're having in your private life? They have pills for that now.

Hard to say but it's been a question many have asked before facing Simmons all season long.
Not sure you can control him ... you just try to contain him and hope he is off on a given night.
Was his low performance/output for the season vs Oklahoma? I know everyone billed the battle to be between Heild and Simmons, but I don't really remember them guarding one another most of the time - did they?
I think Oklahoma tried to prevent Simmons from doing much damage down low and instead wanted to force him to have to hurt them from long range ... which sorta worked.
The problem with LSU and Simmons is that even if you somehow manage to contain Simmons, LSU still has other players that can beat you. And SCAR has made stars out of role players all season by taking that approach.
So to answer your question I would imagine we're going to see a lot of mix and match defenses vs LSU ... 3-2, 2-3 zones ... plenty of man-to-man with different defenders put in Simmon's face over the course of the game to give him different looks until we find one who has some success against him and, who knows, maybe we'll even see a little modified free-floating box-and-one just to try to frustrate him a little.
So I think we'll see Carrera and Thornwell on him, maybe a little P.J. Dozier since they are somewhat familiar with one another from the Mickey-D's A-A game, and we might see some Mindaugas in there too because Mindaugas is better defensively, and seems to love a challenge, more than he gets credit for at times.
Hopefully the crowd will be a major factor given that it's a sellout and there will be 18k nuts in the house.

He passed the ball as soon as he could and everyone scratched their heads.

I'd pay money for you to never post again.

I'll be there in my purple and gold with all of my Carolina friends. Hope it's a great one and Blakeney can continue where he left off Saturday.
