Balanced Jayhawks continue to roll early in Big 12 play, smashing OU 85-55
Some might say Oklahoma was deflated when losing star freshman Blake Griffin five minutes into Monday night’s 85-55 KU win over the Sooners in Allen Fieldhouse. Though, in all honesty, it might not have mattered had Griffin been able to play 35, as the Jayhawks never trailed in routing OU. Four Jayhawks scored in double figures, led by 17 points from senior Darnell Jackson on 8-of-10 shooting. That went with eight rebounds on his final stat line. Darrell Arthur chipped in 14 points and eight boards alongside Jackson in the paint. Griffin, who figured to be the duo’s biggest road block, left early in the game with a sprained left knee.
