Simmons, who is 6-foot-8 and committed to LSU, finished with 14 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks in 30 minutes of play.

He shot 7-for-12 from the line and didn't attempt a free throw.

Simmons' effort was overshadowed by Curie big man Cliff Alexander. The Kansas-bound senior finished with a 30 points, 12 rebounds, five blocks and a number of thunderous slam dunks in the victory.
