Who draws the assignment? Zero chance of zone with LK, so who gets him? I'd like Cousins, he is strong enough and has the right mentality - turn it into a challenge for him. But Simmons better inside than out now, so maybe Lattin? Like to have Lattin for weak-side help. Be interesting to see what staff does
 
I don't think it really matters. We'll likely switch like we always do, maybe run some doubles at him. He is going to get his most likely, the key is for us to score points at the rate we normally do, and on defense, to rebound and defend the other guys on LSU not named Simmons.
 
I'm guessing Spangler starts our guarding him.

Totally agree and Lattin needs to help when he goes up. Putting Spangler on him could eliminate some of his rebounds and second chance points. Lattin gets bullied by bigger guys so it's better with Spangler on him. Wish to hell Manyang was a little more physical down low cause we could through him out there to give spangs a breather and tell him to body up.
 
I think we'll play him as we do Niang,. They're very similar.

Spot on.
