Week 2

Tuesday night, former Sooner and current LA Clippers forward, Blake Griffin, was awarded the NCAA Sportsmanship Award. Each year the NCAA honors athletes in all divisions that exhibit the qualities of sportsmanship.

Griffin, the reigning national player of the year, spent two seasons at OU. He gave up his junior and senior seasons to enter the NBA draft. He was the No. 1 pick.

Fans came out to see Griffin honored at Blake Griffin Night as the men's basketball team battled Texas Tech. 100 lucky fans had the opportunity to meet and greet Griffin after the game.

"I'm so proud to be a Sooner, and even happier OU beat Texas last week," joked Griffin after he received his plaque.

A broken kneecap kept Griffin off the court for the Clippers, but he hopes to see playing time soon.
