Blake Griffin scored 40 points and pulled down 23 rebounds, breaking the school record in career double-doubles, and tying the arena record for most rebounds in a single game, as he lead OU to a 95-74 victory at the Lloyd Noble Center, Saturday.

Saturday's performance made Griffin only the third OU player to record at least 40 points and 20 rebounds in a game, joining fellow Sooner greats Wayman Tisdale and Alvan Adams, both of whom have already had their jerseys retired at OU.  To further lenghten his historical footnotes, Griffin's performance was also the first 40-point, 20-rebound game in Big 12 history.

"Have you guys ever seen the movie, 'The Terminator?' That's what that kid is like," exasperated Texas Tech coach Pat Knight said after the game.  "That kid has no facial expressions.  He just plays and it's like every kid out there on him is like Sarah Connor, and he's just going to take his time and kill them."

Griffin's performance also gave OU its best start in league play, at 11-0, since 1985 when they charged out to an identical record in Big 8 play that year.  The Sooners will look to break that record next Saturday when they travel to Texas.

But at practice Thursday, Griffin talked about taking it one game at a time, not worrying about the team's best start in school history or his own individual statistics.

"You know, it's not how you start it's how you finish, so it is special to be a part of something like that," Griffin said.  "But at the same time I'd much rather be known for the best finish in school history."

The one game at a time approach seemed to work well for Griffin who scored 19 of OU's first 31 points in route to a game which made him the school's all-time leader in career double-doubles with 22, as well as tying the school record for single game rebounds with 23.  

He did all of it before leaving the game with 4:35 left to go.

After the game, Griffin echoed the same sentiments he lamented at practice on Thursday.

"We can't get complacent.  We've got to keep being hungry, keep playing hard and not stop until we get our final goal," he said.
