Who remembers Blake Griffin vs Cuse?

[OrangeDW]

I just found the clip after mentioning it in another thread and it was worse than I remembered. Summed up that team perfectly for me.

Like, come on, guy...there's such a thing as left-handed layups. And they're worth two points, about exactly as much as dunks.

Devendorf...that’s brutal.

I do. All I can say as a ‘CUSE fan is that it was hard to watch.

I think all of us knew what was coming from Blake in that game. It was everything else besides him that was frustrating.

I had pretty much put that in the rearview mirror. Thanks for bringing it up again!

This is kind of like saying to your friend 20 years later: "hey, remember that time your wife told you she cheated on you when you were engaged? That was something, wasn't it?"

Yup.

The gameplan was for Griffin to get his; we could win a close game if the offense played well and the other Oklahoma guys were kept in check.

The gameplan didn't involve some guy who didn't even have a proper shirt pouring in uncontested 20-footers.

Crocker was a guy we wanted to shoot. And he made us pay.

He was hot like Betty Crocker

also our offense...didn’t play well

Also that box score for OU is a cruel joke.

TWO GUYS SCORED

Of all our tourney losses, this one is right up there with Kansas in 2001 as the least painful. We got whupped by a better team, and never had a shot. I was over it before the game was even over.
