I'm going under for Simmons. Think Danny will have a game plan for him and his bigs ready. Shut Simmons down and we cruise.
Another thing to note is Keith Hornsby (senior guard averaging 17.3 PPG) and Craig Victor (top-50 transfer from Arizona) have just recently come back from injury/transfer and didn't play in some of LSU's earlier losses.Tim Quarterman is pretty damn good, too. We really need to watch out for his versatility on offense. Blakeney (the other McDonald's All-American) has been inconsistent so far, but he's another candidate to light us up if we manage to limit Simmons.
LSU is having a weird season, but they have some serious talent.
You'd be mildly surprised if Wake Forest doesn't win a road game?Scouting report from having played them in the tournament last season and early this season:
They are horribly coached and Simmons is a weird player on a weird team. He scored 4 points on 1-6 shooting and 2-5 from the free throw line against Gott's notoriously lax defense with terrible help rotations. Weird. Had 14 rebounds and 10 assists. That being said, their coach makes me appreciate Gottfried. While he doesn't maximize our talent, especially during the regular season, LSU's guy is a reminder that some guys can completely squander solid talent
I'd be mildly surprised if you don't win, and I don't think it'd be a good sign on Manning if Wake were to lose, barring Simmons magically learning how to shoot and dropping 40 on you.

This team can't shoot.
This team can't shoot.
I see they are doing a great job hyping up the game on Facebook. This is the picture they have with the following post: GAMEDAY! Wake Forest Basketball visits LSU tonight at 7 p.m on ESPNU. #GoDeacs
