Oklahoma sophomore Blake Griffin was the unanimous choice for collegiate player of the year in voting by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association. Griffin, a 6-foot-10-inch center, is the first Oklahoma Sooner to win the award, which is named for Hall of Fame basketball player Oscar Robertson.

Blake Griffin had 33 points and 14 rebounds Saturday night to pace the fifth-ranked Oklahoma Sooners to an 82-78 win over Oklahoma State. Griffin, a sophomore who may go into the NBA Draft, was 12-of-15 from the court for the Sooners (27-4, 13-3 Big 12). Missouri's loss to Texas A&M and Kansas' win over Texas Saturday left Oklahoma the No.
