Simmons selected as finalist for pair of honors
The U.S. Basketball Writers Association has chosen LSU freshman forward Ben Simmons as a finalist for the Integris Wayman Tisdale Award and the Oscar Robertson Trophy. 
Simmons is the only player to be among the finalists for both awards. The Tisdale Award, given to nation’s best freshman, features five players. The Robertson Trophy, which includes 11 players, is awarded to the nation’s most outstanding player.
Simmons joins one other Southeastern Conference player on each list and both are Kentucky guards, freshman Jamal Murray and sophomore Tyler Ulis.
Oklahoma senior guard Buddy Hield, who played against Simmons and the Tigers on Jan. 30 at the PMAC, is among the finalist for the Robertson Trophy. Marquette freshman forward Henry Ellenson is also a Tisdale Award finalist, having faced Simmons and LSU on Nov. 23 in Brooklyn, New York as part of the Legends Classic.
LSU baseball sees movement in new polls
After 2-2 week, during which it lost its first midweek game against Lamar and took 2-of-3 from its weekend series against Sacramento State, the LSU baseball team has seen sporadic movement in the newest polls. 
The Tigers remained at No. 7 in the D1Baseball.com poll but moved up in one poll and moved down in three other polls.
Baseball America, which had LSU ranked No. 8 last week, bumped the Tigers up to No. 7. Meanwhile, LSU dropped one spot to No. 6 in the Perfect Game poll while dropping three spots to No. 10 in the Collegiate Baseball rankings. 
In the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association poll, the Tigers fell from No. 6 to No. 10.
