The Louisiana State Tigers are coming to Winston-Salem Thursday night to take on the Deacs in a rematch of the 2015 Ben Simmons Classic. Last year Wake walked away with the W after great performances by Devin Thomas, Bryant Crawford, and Codi Miller-McIntire shutting down the eventual #1 overall pick. This year’s LSU team looks entirely different, and the game is set to be their first true road test of the season. Let’s have a look at what to expect later tonight.
Don’t fact check us here, but Ben Simmons may be the first freshman in NCAA history to lose to Wake Forest on December 29th, 2015

First and foremost, there’s no 6’10, 5* bluechip prospect on the Tigers this year, which certainly is a plus no matter how you slice it.
