An explosive start by the North Florida Ospreys on Wednesday night had the LSU basketball team in danger of losing its fourth consecutive game. Fortunately for the Tigers (4-3), highly-touted freshman Ben Simmons delivered one of the greatest performances in recent college basketball history, leading his team to a 119-108 victory.
Simmons finished the night with an astonishing stat line of 43 points, 14 rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and five steals, becoming the only player from a major conference in the past 20 years to record at least 40 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and five steals in a game.
