Sooners Block Hurricane damage

The sixth ranked Oklahoma Sooners wasted little time in establishing their dominance on the hardcourt as they spurted to a 20-3 advantage on their way to 69-44 pounding of the Tulsa Golden Hurricane.

Brothers Griffin led the way as Tulsa committed 21 turnovers against the undefeated Sooners in the first ever College basketball game at the beautiful BOK Center in downtown Tulsa.

Tulsa's 7 foot Jerome Jordan, who attended a big man's camp with Blake Griffin this summer, was no match against the stronger and younger Griffin brother. Griffin even blocked Jordan's hook shot which is quite a feat for most players; but Griffin is definitely not like most players; it is more likely that he will be one of the top draft pics by the NBA this year, if not the FIRST pic in the draft.

With ball handling skills that enable him to lead the fast break, and athleticism that doesn't quit, OU fans should truly appreciate this extra year he gave to the university and it's basketball program.

For Tulsa, Steven Idlet continues to show that he is a force to be reckoned with, but Ben Uzoh needs more help than what he has been getting.

The Tulsa World has posted a wonderful slide show of pictures from the game.
