Wake Defeats LSU in 2 Hour Ben Simmons Documentary on ESPNU

What was supposed to be a basketball game between Wake Forest and LSU on ESPNU, turned into a two hour Ben Simmons documentary. Wake Forest won the ancillary basketball game 77-71

If you didn't know who Ben Simmons was before this game then you certainly know who he is now...not because he looked like the best player on the court, but because ESPNU insisted on talking about him at every single turn in the game, even when it didn't apply.

Simmons certainly didn't disappoint, and he got more aggressive in the second half, finishing with 21 points and 10 rebounds, but the amount of attention that was given to him was absolutely absurd with an actual game between two Power 5 teams going on.
