Another one … Auburn drops their second straight home game and 4th loss in a row overall. Auburn (9-12, 3-6) fell to LSU (14-8, 7-2) 68-80 in a game in which top draft prospect Ben Simmons was 3 assists away from a triple-double.
Auburn fared much better than I was expecting tonight, especially in the first few minutes and the last few minutes. It took a little while for LSU to get going, but Ben Simmons started showing why he’s the top projected draft pick and one of the best players in college basketball. Simmons was 8-12 from the field with 17 points and 9 rebounds in the first half.
