09:19 AM ET 02.26 | OU team medical personnel will continue to closely monitor Blake Griffin's progress before clearing his return to action. Griffin wasn't ready to go Monday night, and his actions on the OU bench confirmed as much. Several times, after jumping up and down, he took a seat and rubbed his head. Other times, he plugged his ears when the crowd or music played loud. Griffin's father, Tommy Griffin, said his son was "nowhere near ready to play" before Monday's game. Now the focus shifts to Saturday, when the Sooners travel to Texas Tech. "There's a battery of tests that he has to be able to pass," said OU coach Jeff Capel. "If it were up to him, he would have played (Monday night). But it was the right decision not to have him play tonight. We're very hopeful we'll have him for Saturday."

Dude looks like "Grape Ape"

Yeah he did look like ****. But on the other hand, if the other starters on the court (minus Willie Warren) could do something, like say, oh I don't know, make a damn shot it'd be fine. Monday's loss to KU is inexcusable, hell of a game, just inexcusable. Your starting PG gets benched for a back up because he can't make a shot. Not to mention Ryan Wright...

I wouldn't call it inexcusable, just a great game that KU happened to make more plays in. Yes the outcome could of been different with Blake in the game but we did what we had to do to win the game. OU shouldn't be hanging their heads, they fought back from a 20 point deficit to almost pull it off, now just win out and you still get a #1 seed in the NCAA tourney.

I do agree, it was one of those games where KU just did all the right things at the right time. Games like that is what makes college basketball great because no lead is safe until the clock hits zero. Good game played for Kansas, good luck in the future.
