3. Oklahoma vs. LSU

In most of the games that LSU will play next season will be must watch television because of the players on their roster, more in particular because of people who want to watch Ben Simmons.

Simmons will get his first taste of a major competitive rivalry as LSU will face against Oklahoma. They might be unofficial rivals, but these two programs have split their last four matchups. Furthermore, this game will also be a bit of a measuring stick for Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield. The 6’4″ shooting guard came back to college for another year in order to boost his draft stock.

Some people are split on his game, but if he shows out against Simmons, who’s projected as the No. 1 prospect in the 2016 NBA Draft, it’ll give him a spotlight moving forward into the NCAA tournament.

Moreover, Hield will have to defend Antonio Blakeney and Jalen Jones if he wants to really impress scouts.
