State rivals Virginia Commonwealth and Virginia will meet for the first time in 15 years in one of four Top 25 showdowns Tuesday night.

Below, are three must-see players will will put their talents on display Tuesday night.

When: Tuesday, Nov. 12, 7 p.m. ET

Where: John Paul Jones Arena, Charlottesville, Va.

Watch: ESPN2

Live Stream: ESPN3

Guard Treveon Graham, VCU

Junior shooting guard Treveon Graham is on pace for another impressive season in leading the Rams backcourt. VCU's leading scorer from a year ago, the 6'6", 220-pound guard is an efficient shooter, as well as an above-average rebounder at his position. 

Graham scored 14 points in VCU's opener against Illinois State, picking up where he left off in the NCAA Tournament last March.

Be sure to keep an eye on him anytime he attacks the basket. Graham is one of the best guards in college basketball when it comes to drawing fouls. The native of Temple Hills, Md., earned a team-high 164 free-throw attempts last year as a sophomore. 

If he can continue to add to his arsenal over the next two seasons with the Rams, Graham could catch the eye of several NBA teams. 

Guard Joe Harris, Virginia

The ACC's fourth-leading scorer a season ago, Virginia guard Joe Harris has returned for his senior season in Charlottesville. 

Following an under-the-radar outing in the Cavaliers' opener against James Madison, Harris appears ready to showcase his game in front of a national audience. 

At 6'6", Harris can attack larger defenders off the dribble and get to the rim or shoot over smaller and faster players. Harris is a lights-out shooter from almost anywhere on the floor. He hit 42.5 percent from beyond the arc and nearly 47 percent from the field in 2012-13.

In addition to providing a presence on the boards, Harris is an underrated playmaker. He only averaged 2.2 assists per game last season, but his ability to create for himself typically opens up opportunities for his teammates.

Forward Juvonte Reddic, VCU

Another senior who college basketball fans won't want to miss on Tuesday night is VCU forward Juvonte Reddic, a 6'9", 250-pound forward with immense skill on the offensive end.

Of all the players suiting up for VCU and Virginia, Reddic likely has the most NBA potential. 

The native of Winston-Salem, N.C., averaged 14.6 points per game last season on 57 percent shooting from the floor. He's already off to a strong start this season, having connected on six of his first eight shot attempts. 

Reddic, who is a tremendous leaper, is also good for about eight rebounds per game, but has room to improve on the glass.

In the end, Reddic's stellar face-up game, athleticism and energy are sure to steal the show.
