VIDEOS: Oklahoma's Buddy Hield unlocks cheat code vs. LSU
Buddy Hield and Ben Simmons are two of the best players in the country, which made Saturday's matchup between LSU and Oklahoma must-watch television.
After Simmons stole the headlines early with a ridiculous reverse two-handed crush, Hield went off from beyond the arc, sparking a Sooners comeback that erased a 14-point deficit.
First, the star senior ran off a screen and buried from deep, cutting the lead to three:

At this point, one would think the Tigers defense would identify Hield as a shooter, and force someone else to beat them. But the very next trip down the court for the Sooners resulted in yet another 3-ball from the Bahamian:
