ESPN did talk about Simmons essentially the whole game, which to me, as an MU fan, was very annoying.  That said, the guy is a complete beast and I was looking to see what he would do every time down the court.  Very exciting player.

Its always the same rhetoric: if the 'star' takes the last shot and misses, he choked. If he defers, hes not being a star player. which is it?

The media wont let anyone enjoy a great player without getting into the utter minutia of their game

ESPN employees were just happy to have a positive experience dealing with a Simmons.

Deadspin getting in on the act, too.  If you don't read carefully, you'll miss the fact that LSU actually lost last night.

The story was a bit wrong as LSU has been on national TV before tonight. I think one was ESPNU & the other was on the SEC Network.

Let's not start that argument again on this thread.

This, this, so much this. Simmons got the celebrity treatment all night. Anyone touched a hair on his head, it was a foul. Meanwhile he trucked Ellenson and Fischer on separate plays and no whistle.

I didn't have much of a problem with the officiating for the most part, but what drove me nuts is that, seeing Simmons as a surefire NBA guy, the officials were letting him get away with NBA steps much of the night.

He was driving to the basket in transition and took 4+ steps on an eventual 3pt play.

Yes, Ellenson definitely pushed away the defender more than once on that play. I was complaining the night before when Koenig pushed away the defender several times and never got called for it. The offensive player should not get away with pushing the defender away, if they are not going to allow the defender to put his hands on the offensive player. It should go both ways.

My problem was not that Ellenson got called for pushing off--was clearly an offensive foul.  But Simmons had gotten away with a hand check prior to HE pushing off that should have been called under the new rules.  I think HE reacted to that hand check with his own aggression, resulting in an offensive foul.  Either call the first, or don't call either and let them play.

Simmons with another double-double tonight...and he hasn't scored from the floor. 10 assists, 11 rebounds with under 4:00 to play against NC State. His only 2 points came at the line. If it helps, he's the only guy the announcers are talking about. At least this time it's while his team is winning.

That lady announcer is quickly becoming one of my least favorite announcers. Once Simmons fouled out in OT she ran out of content.

Okay, drinking game for mentions during MU/ASU.

Yep. Was screaming at the TV for a timeout after the nearly threw it away twice.

Coaches can't call a timeout when the ball is in play. That's on the players now.

"Marquette, who got here today by beating the Ben Simmons Aussies, will be playing Arizona St. Who managed to avoid the Ben Simmons Aussies by beating NC State who beat Ben Simmons and the Aussies earlier tonight."

Announcers terrible without Simmons too. On consecutive trips, had the comments "On cue, Cohen knocks down the...err, tries to knock down the three" followed by "and inside with the dime" as the shot rolled off the rim.
