Men's Basketball: Blake Griffin named Robertson Award winner
ST. LOUIS — Oklahoma forward Blake Griffin has won another player of the year honor.
The U.S. Basketball Writers Association announced Monday that Griffin was a unanimous winner of its Oscar Robertson Trophy. He received the most votes from all nine of the group's geographical districts.
Griffin led the Sooners to the regional finals of the NCAA tournament where they lost to North Carolina on Sunday. He averaged 22.7 points and 14.4 rebounds this season and had 30 double-doubles.
Griffin will receive the trophy Friday at the writers association's annual awards breakfast in Detroit, where this year's Final Four will be played.
He is the first Oklahoma player to receive the award.
