Averages 2.4 assists (ranks third on team) and 1.7 steals while shooting a Big 12-best.672 from the field.

Has pulled down 21 rebounds three times (versus Davidson, Gardner-Webb and Purdue). Has recorded multiple assists in eight of 11 games, including at least three in five of last nine contests. First Big 12 player to ever record back-to-back games of at least 20 points and 20 rebounds (25 points and 21 rebounds Nov. 18 vs. Davidson; 35 points and 21 boards Nov. 22 vs. Gardner-Webb). First Sooner to ever grab at least 18 rebounds in four straight games (18, 19, 21 and 21). No player had ever done it in more than two consecutive outings. Third Sooner to ever register six straight double-doubles (Alvan Adams and Garfield Heard). Has accounted for 28 percent of Oklahoma s points on the year, 40 percent of its rebounds, 45 percent of its defensive boards and 37 percent of its free throw attempts. Is already 52 percent of the way to his rebound total as a freshman (158 this year; 301 last year).

Has registered at least three assists in 16 of 44 career games (five times this year) and has at least two assists in 27 career contests (eight times this season). QUOTABLE It s not even close between Blake Griffin and everyone else right now to be the No. 1 pick in the June draft and also the National Player of the Year. Jeff Goodman, FoxSports.com (Dec. 8, 2008) Good as I ve seen. He made some shots early in the game and carried them. He s a big-time player. I ve never seen a physical specimen like that in college. He s under control. He s really, really, really good. Mike Davis, UAB head coach Blake is very talented, but it is his team-first, blue-collar attitude that truly sets him apart. The kid is just a winner. If you locked all of the college players in the country in a room and only one could battle his way out, it would be Blake Griffin coming out of that room. Jay Bilas, ESPN Note to Sooners: If Blake Griffin is open by a fraction of an inch for a fraction of a second, get him the ball. Rinse and repeat. He will score, get fouled, find an open man, solve the economic crisis, help a grandmother cross a street. Something good will happen. Dana O Neil, ESPN.com GRIFFIN S CAREER STATS Year G-GS MP-Avg.
