No. 1 Sooners deny LSU's upset try in thriller

Oklahoma never trailed by as many points this season (six) as it did at halftime at LSU on Saturday. Ben Simmons then started off the second half with a highlight-reel dunk and quickly the Tigers' lead grew to 14 points.

But No. 1 Oklahoma, in a way that you can only expect from a team that has so much experience playing together, never wavered.

Buddy Hield showed why he is the best college basketball player in America, scoring 21 of his game-high 32 points in the second half as the Sooners escaped with a 77-75 victory.
