A starter for 18 games this season, UA freshman guard Kobi Simmons has since turned into a sixth man and now the ninth man.
He played only five minutes at ASU last Saturday and seven minutes against Colorado.
Since UA’s locker room was open for the first time this season, under mandatory tournament rules, Simmons was asked about it after Thursday's game.
“It’s whatever coach feels like that’s best to win,” Simmons said. “If that’s what it is, then we get the win. Whether we play or not doesn’t really matter. … When my name gets called and I get more playing time I’ll be ready.”
