Not bad for a team that supposedly can't win without him.

The depleted Sooners went into Gallagher-Iba Arena on Wednesday night and snapped Oklahoma State's five-game winning streak with a 68-56 victory on Senior Night.

They did this with Griffin back in Norman, receiving treatment on his injured right knee.

The last time Griffin was out of uniform on game day, OU posted a 63-61 victory over Texas Tech in Norman on Jan. 19.

But the Sooners didn't stand a chance of winning Wednesday.

"We knew that without Blake that everyone was going to kinda doubt us,” OU senior guard David Godbold said. There was no "kinda” about it.

Didn't seem logical to expect the hot-and-cold Sooners to win in Stillwater with the Cowboys riding an illogical winning streak that included upset victories at No. 16-ranked Texas A&M and Missouri, and home victories over Baylor and No.
