While others are in anticipation for the NBA All-Star Saturday activities, there has been some great college basketball action.Syracuse needed overtime to beat Georgetown. UConn and Hasheem Thabeet looked unbeatable versus Seton Hall. UCLA has not had a fun road trip in the state of Arizona. Wake Forest broke out of their slump. Kansas spotted Kansas St. 16-points, and still won. But the team and player who stole the show was Oklahoma's Blake Griffin.
Oklahoma beat a struggling Texas Tech team 95-74. Griffin poured in 40 points and grabbed 23 rebounds in one of the most dominating performances of all-time. And Texas Tech coach Pat Knight agreed.
''Have you guys ever seen the movie, 'The Terminator?' That's what that kid is like,'' Knight said. ''That kid has no facial expressions. He just plays and it's like every kid out there on him is like Sarah Connor, and he's just going to take his time and kill him.
Oklahoma is undefeated in conference play and has not lost a game since the beginning of the year. Griffin was the star though, who brought the crowd to their feat with a couple of great dunks.
Griffin has quickly established himself as the best player in the nation. Oklahoma will be a tough team to beat during the tournament.
Oh wow, a blue background on the ESPN bottom line, I have not seen that in ages.
