THE PREVIEW

Sooners return starting guards Warren, Crocker; add strong recruiting class that features pair of McDonald’s All-Americans

klahoma head coach Jeff Capel is fully aware his 2009-10 team will have to overcome major losses from last year’s 30-6 squad that reached the NCAA Tournament’s Elite Eight and was ranked as high as No. 2 in the country for three weeks in February. First, there’s the glaring departure of forward Blake Griffin and his 22.7 points and 14.4 rebounds a game. The consensus national player of the year and eventual No. 1 overall NBA Draft pick had one of the best individual seasons in school history, producing consistent numbers not seen by OU fans since the late Wayman Tisdale some 25 years ago. On top of that, Capel said goodbye to point guard Austin Johnson and forward Taylor Griffin, seniors who started every game last year. Taylor Griffin was the team’s second-leading rebounder and third-leading scorer, while Johnson paced the Sooners in assists and ranked fifth in scoring. The pair also shared the team lead in steals. “It’s going to be tough to replace that production,” said Capel, who has the most wins (69) and the highest winning percentage (.676) in OU history through the first three years of tenure. “That trio provided so much for us in so many different areas. Obviously people will remember Blake with his scoring and rebounding, but we lost a lot of leadership with those guys, a lot of experience and a lot of intangibles.” So does all of that mean that Capel has tempered his enthusiasm for his fourth season in Norman? Hardly. The return of major scoring threats on the perimeter and the signing of what some analysts consider a top-five

national recruiting class has Capel anxious for October and the start of practice.

30 points), while Crocker has scored at least 20 points nine times over the past two seasons.

“One of the many things I’m excited about is that we have talent coming back and we have some talented new guys coming in,” he said. “We’re going to be awfully young, but we definitely do have some ability.

The Sporting News’ Preseason National Player of the Year, Warren is a 6-4, 203-pound combo guard who last season swept Big 12 Freshman of the Year voting after averaging 14.6 points and 3.1 assists per game. Named national freshman of the year by Athlon Sports, he shot .473 from the field and a team-high .372 from behind the arc while setting a school freshman record with 67 3-pointers. He was a seven-time Big 12 Rookie of the Week (one shy of the league record) and started all but two contests.

“Our focus initially is going to be how to develop that talent, how to make us better. Then it will be how to mesh all the different parts together. Our players are going to have to understand how much they need each other.”

u BACKCOURT Willie Warren (6-4, 203, So., Guard) Tony Crocker (6-6, 209, Sr., Guard) Cade Davis (6-5, 199, Jr., Guard) Ray Willis (6-6, 164, So., Guard) Tommy Mason-Griffin (5-11, 203, Fr., Guard) Steven Pledger (6-4, 217, Fr., Guard) T.J. Franklin (5-11, 166, So., Guard) Ryan Randolph (6-4, 194, Fr., Guard) On paper, Oklahoma’s strength in 2009-10 will be its guard play. Two returning starters, three returning reserves and a highly touted crop of freshmen should give the Sooners one of the best backcourts in the Big 12 Conference, if not the country. Leading the way for OU’s guards will be sophomore All-America candidate Willie Warren and senior all-conference possibility Tony Crocker. The pair, who combined for 70 starts last year, has shown an ability to score in bunches. Warren recorded seven games of at least 20 points as a freshman (including two of at least

“Willie wants to be great,” remarked Capel. “He’s incredibly blessed and gifted. The things that he went through last year and his experiences will help him. I think he has a better understanding of how long a season is and how to prepare for one. I think he has the chance to be one of the premier players in the country. Actually, I already think he is, but now he’ll have the chance to show all of the things he can do. “My challenge to Willie has more to do with leadership — the way he carries himself with everything, challenging teammates in a positive way and things of that nature. I think he has the capability to be a great player AND a great leader.” Crocker, who has already amassed 1,008 career points, has a legitimate chance to finish as one of OU’s top 15 all-time scorers. The 6-6, 209-pound wing has started 95 of his 102 games, including all 36 last season when he averaged 9.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists. He made 59 treys on the year (shot .349) and canned at least five 3-pointers on five occasions. According to Capel, Crocker, who netted a career-high 28 points against Syracuse in the Sweet 16 last March, can have a stellar senior campaign if he improves his consistency.

S O O N E RS SEASON OUTLOOK “At times he’s been really good and at times he hasn’t been quite as good,” said Capel. “I’m a firm believer that if you work consistently that you’ll have a better chance of becoming a more consistent player. “Tony has a lot of experience and has seen it all, from his first year when we weren’t as good to the last two years when we were much better. He grew up dreaming about playing for the University of Oklahoma and he’s lived that dream. I certainly hope that he has a really good senior year and that we have a really good season for him. I hope that he takes ownership and has pride in making this a special season with it being his last go around.” Cade Davis is another veteran guard with the ability to knock down the 3-point shot. The 6-5, 198-pounder, who averaged 4.7 points in 14.6 minutes per outing last year as a sophomore, is probably best known for launching high-arching, long-distance bombs (he made 40 treys last year on .345 shooting). But Davis continues to work on his overall game, including the mental aspect. Capel thinks he needs to exhibit more consistency and confidence.

Sophomore Ray Willis also returns from OU’s secondplace Big 12 squad. A top-100 national recruit out of u The Sporting News named Willie Warren its preseason national player of the year.

“Ray worked really hard over spring and summer. He’s desperately trying to put on weight and he’s done a good job of being a willing listener and learner. He’s not afraid of work, he wants to be good and he certainly has some of the tools to do that. The big things with him are strength, gaining game experience and competing the right way all the time. If he can do those things, he can have a really positive influence on our team.” Expected to deliver energy and a bit of flash to the point guard spot is freshman Tommy Mason-Griffin. One of two incoming McDonald’s All-Americans, the 5-11, 203-pounder will be Capel’s first true point guard at OU to see major minutes. Lightning quick and with the ability to set up teammates or score on his own, MasonGriffin can hurt opponents in a variety of ways. He averaged 22.8 points, 5.3 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 3.7 steals per game as a high school senior and will challenge for a starting role. “He’s THE guy we wanted,” said Capel of Mason-Griffin and the point guard spot. “He’s played the position his whole life. He can really pass, he can really penetrate and he can really shoot. I saw him score 49 points and hit 11 3-pointers in a high school game last year. He was a McDonald’s All-American for a reason. We think he has the chance to really impact this team.” Steven Pledger is another guard who’s expected to create waves as a freshman. Less heralded nationally than Mason-Griffin, Pledger was still a top-100 recruit who last year averaged 21.5 points and shot .491 from 3-point range. He enters college with a reputation as a shooter, but with the ability to also put the ball on the floor and a desire to thrive on defense, Capel considers him an all-around player who will push for playing time. “I knew Steven was good when we recruited him,” began Capel of the 6-4, 217-pounder,“and that’s been confirmed by some of our players who have told me this summer that they love playing with him. He has a really good feel for the game and he can shoot. He’s a confident shooter. Because of that, sometimes people forget that he can put the ball on the floor and make some plays. Defensively, he has a sense of pride in guarding his guy and he has an understanding of how to do it. He has a very bright future.” Rounding out the backcourt are a pair of walk-ons in sophomore T.J. Franklin and freshman Ryan Randolph. At 5-11 and 166 pounds, Franklin is a pedalto-the-metal point guard who saw action in 12 games last year. Capel said he appreciates his daily effort and reliability, and expects to feel the same way about the 6-4, 194-pound Randolph. “I love T.J., how hard he works and what he provides our team in practice. He’s a guy who’s really gotten better, and I don’t think that’s a surprise because he probably works as hard as anyone in this program. I can depend

THE PREVIEW

“Cade had a really good year for us and was absolutely fantastic in certain games,” said the OU boss. “But I’d like to see more of those performances. One of the challenges for him is to turn games into practice. A lot of times in practice, Cade doesn’t miss many shots. I think at times he’s gotten nervous in games or felt pressure. We need to help him figure out how to turn games into those practices when he doesn’t have a conscience as far as taking good shots. He needs to play with that kind of swagger all the time.”

high school, the 6-6, 164-pound wing battled occasional off-the-court issues last year, including an August incident that left him with a partially collapsed lung. Willis showed promise in his 16 appearances, however, averaging 3.3 points and 1.4 rebounds in 6.4 minutes a game (that equates to 20.6 points and 8.9 rebounds per 40 minutes). He has a scorer’s mentality.

on T.J. and I trust him. I trust putting him in a game. He can be a spark plug. “Ryan’s also a great kid, a hard worker and a good player. He comes from a great family and a great high school program. He’s been well coached. We’ve been lucky with the walk-ons we’ve had over the years and he fits right in with those guys.”

u FRONTCOURT Ryan Wright (6-9, 241, Sr., Forward) Orlando Allen (6-10, 290, Jr., Center) Beau Gerber (6-8, 230, Sr., Forward) Tiny Gallon (6-9, 296, Fr., Forward) Andrew Fitzgerald (6-8, 258, Fr., Forward) Kyle Hardrick (6-8, 229, Fr., Forward) The Sooners’ frontcourt lacks the experience and depth of the backcourt, but is not without capable producers. The most veteran of a group of six players who will try to fill the void left by the Griffin brothers is senior forward Ryan Wright. A backup in all but one game last year (he started in place of an injured Blake Griffin against Kansas), the chiseled 6-9, 241-pound Wright is hungry to make his final collegiate season one filled with playing time and impact. Last year, Wright, who spent his freshman and sophomore seasons at UCLA after garnering top-100 status out of high school, averaged 1.8 points and 2.1 rebounds in 8.1 minutes per contest. “I think Ryan’s going to have a good year for us,” said Capel. “Because he hadn’t really played basketball in three years — he played sparingly in his two years at UCLA and then sat out a year after transferring — I think last year was maybe a little tough. At times he showed signs of being really good, especially when he had op-

2009-10 | OKLAHOMA MEN’S BASKETBALL

O K L AHOMA SEASON OUTLOOK u Senior forward Ryan Wright should have an opportunity to earn plenty of playing time.

Capel hopes a trio of freshmen will help soften the blow of losing the Griffin brothers. Chief among the newcomers is 6-9, 300-pound forward Tiny Gallon. A McDonald’s All-American who was last year’s Gatorade Virginia Player of the Year at national runner-up Oak Hill Academy, Gallon averaged 16.0 points and 10.3 rebounds while shooting .591 from the floor. He was rated the nation’s No. 9 overall recruit (No. 2 center) by Rivals.com. Plain and simple, he is one of the most highly regarded signees in school history. Said Capel,“Tiny’s a legit 6-9, has more than a seven-foot wingspan and is incredibly skilled with a unique set of gifts. He’s not as athletic as Blake, but he’s athletic. He can really pass the ball and he can shoot it. He has to allow himself to get better, allow himself to be coached and to be a great listener and a hard worker. I think he’s going to do that and I think he’s going to be very, very good for us.”

THE PREVIEW

Andrew Fitzgerald represents another skilled big body down low. Ranked No. 68 nationally by ESPN.com and No. 70 by Rivals.com, the 6-8, 258-pounder is a bruiser in the paint who also possesses the ability to hit the mid-range jumper with consistency. Fitzgerald averaged 22.5 points and 8.0 rebounds per game last year at Brewster (N.H.) Academy and earned first-team national prep school All-America honors. He also played in the Reebok AllAmerican Game in April. portunities to play extended minutes. He’s going to have the opportunity to earn a lot of playing time. “He’s an older guy, a leader. We don’t have anyone who works harder or who wants it more. Because of that, I’m cheering for him to have a great year.” Another returning reserve is junior Orlando Allen. The tallest player on the team at 6-10, Allen played sparingly last season after sitting out his sophomore year of junior college due to injury. In 19 games last year, he played an average of 4.6 minutes and contributed 1.8 points per outing on .577 field goal shooting. Playing time is expected to be a reward for the hard-working post man. “Orlando really improved over the course of last season,” remarked Capel. “I think that improvement is still ongoing, as he reportedly had as good a summer as anyone. He’s changed his body and he’s gotten better. Like Ryan Wright, he benefited from playing against Blake and Taylor every day last year. One thing about Orlando is that he’s not afraid to work. And he’s as good a teammate we have as far as being there for everyone, supporting them and encouraging them. I think he’s going to really help us this year.” The lone remaining veteran is senior and former walk-on Beau Gerber. Now on scholarship, the 6-8, 230-pound Gerber has personified sacrifice, working hard in practice for a shot at minimal playing time on game day. According to Capel, that court time could increase this year. “Beau is one of my favorite players that I’ve ever coached. You talk about the epitome of a leader, a person being selfless — that’s him. If our players were in a foxhole and they got to choose three teammates to do battle with them, every one of them would pick Beau. You can depend on him. And he’s become a good basketball player. I won’t be afraid to put Beau in games this year because he knows everything he’s supposed to do.”

OKLAHOMA MEN’S BASKETBALL | 2009-10

“All of our freshmen, and Andrew is one specifically, need to get into great shape,” said Capel. “He’s about 6-8, has over a seven-foot wingspan and can really shoot the ball out to about 15 feet. He’s not going to out-athlete you, he’s just going to outwork you and he’s going to bang on you. He’s physical. Andrew’s going to have to get adjusted to the speed of the game and understand how hard you have to work and the importance of every possession. He has a chance to be a good one for us.” Another incoming freshman forward, Kyle Hardrick committed to OU almost immediately after Capel’s arrival in 2006. Hardrick, who is 6-8 and weighs 229 pounds, won a class 6A Oklahoma state title last year at Putnam

City High School when he averaged a double-double (10.3 points and 10.1 rebounds per contest). His skill set and feel for the game are a plus, but the fact he wasn’t with the team during summer training will mean he’ll have some catching up to do. Said Capel,“Kyle’s been a part of the Sooner family for a while now. He gives us a big body. I think he’s going to continue to grow into his body and get stronger. As a basketball player, he can really do some things, including shoot the ball out to about 15 feet. He wasn’t able to go through our summer program, so he came in a little bit behind. But down the road he could really help us.”

SUMMARY Thirty-win seasons are difficult to improve upon, and with the loss of the national player of the year and two other starters, the Sooners may not accomplish the feat. But pairing an extremely strong backcourt with some capable big men should most certainly give OU confidence as it attacks another staunch schedule. The squad’s ultimate success depends on a variety of factors including health and development. Also, says Capel, it will hinge on chemistry and desire. “Certainly I think the team came together over the spring and summer,” said the head coach,“and that’s critical. One thing I’m worried about, though, is complacency. Two years ago we were embarrassed in the NCAA Tournament second round. That left a pretty sour taste in our mouth and it led to our guys not wanting to feel that way again. Last year, after our loss to North Carolina in the Elite Eight, I don’t think we felt embarrassed. We felt hurt, but I don’t think our guys felt embarrassed. “When you win 30 games and have the kind of season we had — on TV as much as we were, always on highlights and different things like that — sometimes that can make you a little bit soft. That’s one thing we have to guard against. We can’t rest on what we did. We have to be hungry for more. We have to be hungry for the process of getting better.”

u Ranked No. 9 by Rivals.com and No. 11 by Scout.com and ESPN.com, Tiny Gallon is among the highest rated high school recruits in OU history.

LEADING RETURNERS

QUOTING CAPEL u Thirty-win seasons don’t occur every year. What will

“Now that the season’s been over with for a while, you have a chance to digest everything. I certainly appreciate everything more now than I did as we were going through it. We had a really good team. To win 30 games and get to within one game of the Final Four, it was special. We had some special individual performances by Blake (Griffin) that obviously stand out, but Willie Warren had an amazing freshman year for us, too. Taylor Griffin and Austin Johnson had really, really good senior years. The things I’ll remember? I’ll remember our team celebrating after we won the NIT Season Tip-Off. I’ll remember how this group came together in the midst of some adverse times toward the end of our conference season and was able to pull it back together as we headed into the NCAA Tournament. We were playing some of our best basketball at that time, so I’m really proud of that.” u The strength of the team seems to lie in the back-

court. What excites you about your guards?

“That’s where we have some experience. Tony Crocker is the most experienced, and then we have Cade Davis and Willie Warren. Those three played integral roles for us last year. Crock started every game, Willie started all but two and Cade played really well for us. We need those three to step up as leaders. We’ll see how Ray Willis has matured as a player and how he’s grown. He’ll certainly have an opportunity. I think we’ve added some really good guards in Tommy MasonGriffin and Steven Pledger. So we feel really good about our perimeter because of the mix of veterans and new talented guys who can hopefully provide more firepower.” u Would you rather have a great frontcourt or a great

backcourt?

“I’d like to have both. You often hear that you win with guards, and I agree with that. But last year we showed that you can win with a really good frontcourt. I do think guards control the game more, especially offensively. If you have guards who can also get after it defensively, I’d prefer to have the stronger backcourt. I think we have some guys with the ability to do those things. We’re going to have to teach them how to do

them — especially getting after it on the defensive end. But as a former guard, I’d probably have to choose the backcourt.” u Will the makeup of this team allow you to get up and

down the court a little bit faster?

“It could, possibly. I thought we played at a pretty good tempo last year. Until I’m actually able to get out on the floor with them, it’s hard to say. Will we ever be a run-and-gun team? I don’t know if that’s really my style. I want to run and get easy opportunities, but will we ever be a team that runs and shoots the first eight or 10 seconds down the floor? I don’t know. “But I certainly think that we have a chance to have a really strong backcourt. We’ll be able to put three guys on the floor who can dribble, pass and shoot, players who can create. Willie Warren can create. We think that’s something that Tommy Mason-Griffin brings us that we haven’t had at point guard — a guy who can really generate opportunities off the bounce. Hopefully Tony Crocker has been working on his ball handling. If so, that can allow us to use him that way. Same thing with Cade Davis. He’s never going to break you down off the dribble, but he can use one or two dribbles to help him get to a spot and get his shot off. Ray Willis is a kid who has an opportunity to be good off the bounce, it’s just a matter of whether he’s gotten strong enough to survive getting bumped. So our pace probably could quicken a little bit, but I won’t know until practice starts.” u Do you foresee Willie Warren stepping forward during

his sophomore season like Blake Griffin did and becoming a national-player-of-the-year candidate? “I think Willie has a chance to be really good. I heard and read that he played really well at LeBron’s camp (in July). I even heard he may have been the best college player there. The thing that I’m most pleased with is that everyone I talked to mentioned how much he’s grown and matured. That’s part of the process and one of the great things that happens to a young man in college — you grow up. I think all of the experiences of being around Blake last year and watching how he handled everything have helped Willie. They’ve developed a good friendship and Blake has helped tutor Willie and has talked to him about some things. Willie’s a smart guy and I

O K L AHOMA SEASON OUTLOOK heard some really good things about him over the summer. We all know what he can do as a player, but we need a leader on this team. If he approached the summer the right way, then he has a chance to step up and earn the right to be a leader.” u In what areas do you most want to see Willie

improve?

“I’d like to see him be more aggressive at times, and I think he’ll be that way. I thought at times last year he deferred. This year I don’t think we’ll have that problem. I’d like to see him get better defensively. The thing Willie’s going to have to understand — and I’ve talked to him about this — is that he’s going to be a marked man now. And so his preparation has to be that much better than it was last year. Last year he was the second guy on the other team’s scouting report. This year he’ll be the first guy. “I’d like to see him rebound better. With his size, strength and athleticism, he should be getting four or five boards a game. If he does that, we can immediately start our break — there doesn’t have to be an outlet pass. So those are the areas we’ll look for improvement from him.”

THE PREVIEW

u The team returns only 29 percent of its rebound-

ing from last season. Is that a concern?

“It’s a major concern, probably as big as any I have. I think we have some guys who can score. But rebounding is the major concern. Between Blake and Taylor last year, you’re talking over 20 rebounds a game. It’s going to present a huge opportunity for players to step up, and it’s a way that they can earn playing time. So many people focus on scoring. Well, we’re going to need some guys to really step up and man the boards for us. Our two returning big men — Ryan Wright and Orlando Allen — or some of our new guys like Tiny Gallon or Andrew Fitzgerald have a chance to do that. A guy like Tony Crocker has to be a better rebounder for us. Willie Warren has to rebound better. We’re going to have to gang rebound this year.” u Freshman Tommy Mason-Griffin was a McDonald’s and Jordan All-American.

u Last year was the first time that OU has had two

McDonald’s All-Americans on the same team. Now there are three on the squad for 2009-10. What has allowed you to have so much success on the recruiting trail? “The first thing is I have a really, really good staff. All three of my assistants will be — or should be — head coaches soon. Their experience, their knowledge and their connections have enabled us to get in on some good players. The second thing is what the University of Oklahoma has to offer as far as a university, a community, an athletics department and a basketball program. If you look at our basketball program over the past 25 years, it’s been a top-15 national program. That’s a testament to everyone who’s played and coached here. It also helps when you’re able to get a guy like Blake Griffin. He’s the guy who’s kind of made it cool to come here during my time. Then a guy like Willie Warren becomes interested to play with Blake. When Willie got here, you have to think that that opened the eyes of guys like Tommy MasonGriffin and Tiny Gallon. We were able to get them here on campus and they fell in love with what they saw. So I think it’s a combination of all of those things.”

u What tactics will you use to relieve some of the

pressure off Tiny Gallon in stepping in for Blake Griffin, the national player of the year?

“Well, I hope there won’t be a lot of pressure, but realistically, from the outside, there will be expectations for Tiny. I’ve told him that there will never be another Blake Griffin — not at the University of Oklahoma, not in college basketball. Blake is one of those true, unique talents that come along just every so often. I think people will understand that even more once Blake starts doing some things at the next level. But, in his own right, Tiny’s very, very talented. The big thing is getting him to understand that who he is is pretty good. He doesn’t need to emulate anyone else, he just needs to be the best Tiny Gallon he can be.” u What does Jozsef Szendrei bring to the table as

your new strength and conditioning coach?

“He’s been great. One of the things that I like about Yo-Yo is that he wore the Oklahoma jersey. That’s important. Sometimes — and I know this from playing at a school with great tradition — it means a little bit more to the guys who’ve worn the jersey. When I was going through the hiring process, I didn’t think there was a candidate who’d have more pride in his job than Yo-Yo. He has a lot of ownership in this program because he wore that uniform with pride. On top of that, he’s very knowledgeable about what he does and he has a passion for it. He wants to do anything he can to help the OU men’s basketball program. “He understands his role and is probably one of the most positive people I’ve ever met in my life. I’ve known him since I got to OU and I don’t think I’ve ever seen him in a bad mood. You can’t help but get a jolt of energy from him when you’re around him. That was something I was really looking for when I started the hiring process.” u How do you break down the Big 12 this year?

“I talked to some Big 12 coaches out on the road recruiting and I know a lot of us feel like our league is going to be even better than it was last year. And last year, I think

10 OKLAHOMA MEN’S BASKETBALL | 2009-10

u Junior Cade Davis made 40 treys and shot .345 from behind the arc last season.

from top to bottom we were right there with any other league. I think Kansas will be better than it was last year, and it was really good. Texas has the chance to be better and it was a very good basketball team. I think Iowa State will probably be a better basketball team. They have one of the premier players in the country returning in Craig Brackins. “Then you look at Texas A&M — it’s going to be a better team with three starters back and two freshmen who played really well last year in Dash Harris and David Loubeau. Oklahoma State has another one of the premier players in the country in James Anderson. I think Colorado will be better and I think Kansas State will be improved and right in the thick of things. “We lost a lot and so did Missouri. But Missouri’s style of play and the guys that return — especially in the backcourt — will keep it in the midst of the race. Doc Sadler at Nebraska is one of the best coaches in the country. He’s got some good players back and some more that are new or sat out last year. I think it’s going to be a really, really good year. We have some tremendous players coming back and I think we signed more top-100 national recruits than any other league. I think that says a lot.” u Does the Big 12 have the chance to be the best

league in the country?

“I think it can be. In fact, I thought we were last year. The only conference you could maybe say was better last year was the Big East. And everyone I’ve talked to thinks we’ll be better than we were last year, so I do think we could be the best league in the country. We’ll have two preseason top-five teams. Kansas will be ranked No. 1 and Texas will be in the top five. Then there are some more who will be preseason top-25 teams. When you look at the depth of our league and the quality of players, coaches and venues, it’s hard to win — especially on the road. I think we’re going to be the best conference in the country this year.”

S O O N E RS PRESEASON NOTEBOOK CONSECUTIVE NATIONAL PLAYERS OF THE YEAR? Will Oklahoma produce a national player of the year twice in a row? The Sporting News thinks so. The publication named sophomore guard Willie Warren its preseason national player of the year just seven months after sophomore forward Blake Griffin claimed every 2009 national player of the year award. Warren, last season’s unanimous choice as Big 12 Freshman of the Year, was the Sooners’ most potent 2008-09 backcourt performer. He averaged 14.6 points and 3.1 assists per game as a sidekick to Griffin, helping OU to a 30-6 record and to within one game of the Final Four. Warren was named Big 12 Rookie of the Week seven times (one shy of the record) and set OU freshman standards for 3-pointers (67) and games started (34). The last school to have players win back-toback Wooden or Naismith Awards was Duke (Shane Battier and Jason Williams each won both in 2001 and u Sophomore 2002, respectively). Willie Warren

Oklahoma’s House of Noise It’s known as the house Alvan Adams built and Wayman Tisdale filled. It’s also where Billy Tubbs resurrected Oklahoma basketball and where Kelvin Sampson kept it flying high. Now, fourth-year OU head coach Jeff Capel calls the building home and has quickly positioned the Sooners as national contenders. Capel’s teams have averaged 26.5 wins over the past two seasons. Dedicated in 1975, Lloyd Noble Center features excellent seating and some of the best college basketball in the nation. Since its opening, nearly five million fans have passed through the Lloyd Noble doors expecting an Oklahoma victory.

Under head coach Billy Tubbs, Oklahoma built a stellar 182-26 record inside Lloyd Noble Center and was undefeated at home in five of his last 11 seasons. The home court advantage has continued, as evidenced by the fact that the Sooners have won 345 of their last 391 home encounters, good for a remarkable .882 winning percentage. Included in the stretch was a school-record 51-game winning streak. The Sooners also recently recorded a Big 12 Conference record 37-game home court winning streak (it ended in 2003) and enters the 2009-10 campaign as winners in 70 of their last 72 home non-conference games. The best continues to get better at Lloyd Noble Center as the $17.1 million expansion and renovation project came to a close in 2001. The improvements resulted in one of the finest basketball facilities in the country. The new practice facility, which houses the men’s and women’s basketball offices, features a full-size weight room, theater-style film rooms, a state-of-the-art training room and plush locker rooms. The men’s and women’s teams also boast their own practice gyms, open 24 hours a day. Debuting in 2007-08 was a state-of-the-art four-sided, center-hung LED video display, corner-hung display boards and revamped sound system. The updgrades were completed in October 2007 at a cost of more than $3 million.

$20.2 Million Worth of Improvements The Lloyd Noble Center expansion and renovation project was completed prior to the 2001-02 season. Featured was a 70,000-square-foot addition to the south side of the center with two new full-sized practice courts, one for men’s basketball and one for women’s. Both OU basketball programs also now boast new offices, film rooms, training rooms, locker rooms, spa/sauna rooms and a full-sized weight room. Prior to the 200708 season, a $3.1 million high-definition scoreboard and sound system was also added. The $20.2 million in additions and renovations has also enhanced Lloyd Noble Center for the wide variety of public events it hosts, including graduations, concerts and large meetings. These improvements include an expanded LNC parking lot, renovated arena ceiling and a modernization of the electrical systems. With the project, the OU athletics department has become a national leader in creating equal and outstanding facilities for both its men’s and women’s basketball programs. The addition of the practice facilities and the new and upgraded team and coaching facilities have already had a tremendous impact on the success of both programs, particularly in the areas of recruiting top players and providing unparalleled facilities for training. Proof positive is the pair of Final Four trips the OU men’s and women’s teams made in 2001-02, the new facility’s first year of existence.

ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas echoed,“Oklahoma’s basketball facilities are magnificent — second to none. Everything is top of the line and very well conceived. These facilities communicate the same message the Sooners do through their play — a commitment to pursuing excellence.”

In conjunction with the celebration of the 100th year of basketball at Oklahoma, the university unveiled Legacy Court in October 2006. The museum-like exhibit at Lloyd Noble Center chronicles the history of the sport at OU and features the men’s and women’s programs’ most prominent players, coaches and accomplishments. Included in the project are eight display cases, large hanging player banners, giant hologram-like graphics, life-size player images, a legends wall, interactive All-America and all-conference databases, and interactive exhibits to measure fans’ vertical jumping ability and hand-eye reaction times. A giant center-court structure is the featured element. It includes men’s and women’s trophy and artifact cases, graphics that highlight the programs’ most successful head coaches and a 100-year timeline of notable events. Eight flatscreen television monitors circle the top of the structure and show historical videos.

S O O N E RS ATHLETICS FACIL ITIES

Great Expectations and Beyond With one of the greatest winning traditions in intercollegiate athletics, the University of Oklahoma, its players, coaches and fans understand the meaning of “Great Expectations.” OU hopes for and expects great things from its athletics teams — and the athletes and coaches expect the same from themselves. Time and time again, the Sooners have delivered on this expectation: 26 national championships, 226 conference titles and more than 1,000 All-Americans. The university’s goal is to provide first-class facilities and resources for all the programs and endeavors sponsored by the institution. OU Athletics captures so much attention and interest that it requires the help and support of all Sooners to continue the tradition that all have enjoyed. With that in mind, OU launched “Great Expectations...The Campaign for Sooner Sports” in 1999. “Great Expectations — The Campaign for Sooner Sports,” a recently completed fund-raising effort, was about the continuation of a proud championship tradition. It was a five-year campaign launched with an eventual goal of $100 million, making possible an extraordinary era in new athletics facilities that has led to unprecedented athletic and academic success.

Among the accomplishments made possible by campaign donors: an expanded and renovated football stadium; two completely new facilities for men’s and women’s basketball at Lloyd Noble Center; new or renovated facilitities for wrestling, softball, tennis, soccer and track and field; new strength and conditioning and sports medicine centers and an indoor training center.

Advancing to postseason play is not something the Sooners take for granted, although it would be understandable if they did. Over the last 28 years, no other program in the country has made more postseason appearances than Oklahoma’s 27. Since 1982, OU has participated in 22 NCAA Tournaments and five NITs. Only five programs have been to more NCAA Tournaments over the past 27 years than the Sooners (see graph to the right).

Boasting legendary coaches and players over its 102-year history, the Oklahoma men’s basketball program continues to churn out successful teams year after year. The OU faithful have seen every kind of win over the years, and plenty of them. The program’s current streak of 28 consecutive winning seasons is the longest in the Big 12 Conference, and the Sooners show no signs of slowing down under fourth-year head coach Jeff Capel. With a bevy of young and talented players on the roster, Oklahoma is looking to add to its impressive run of postseason appearances over the coming years. The Sooners have flourished in the Big 12, finishing in third place or better eight times in the league’s 13-year history and playing in five conference tournament title games (with three crowns). OU also owns an all-time winning record against 10 of the other 11 programs in the league.

SOONER SPIRIT

Say it Loud, Say it Proud The University of Oklahoma has a long and storied history. The rich tradition has given birth to some of the most recognized pageantry in all of college athletics. These two pages look at the origin of some of the elements that create OU’s unique atmosphere.

from a pep club called “The Sooner Rooters.” The success of University of Oklahoma athletics teams over the years has made the nickname synonymous with winning.

OU CHANT The “OU Chant” is a loyalty song that is sung before every home football game, before and after every men’s and women’s basketball games and at the end of many athletic and university functions. Every fan who wears the official colors, each current student and student-athlete and all OU alumni are encouraged to stand and raise one finger in the air during the playing of the Chant – a symbolic gesture that shows those who do not know what it means to be a Sooner, the greatness of the university and the unity between all Sooners. The Chant was written in 1936 by Jessie Lone Clarkson Gilkey, who directed the OU girl’s glee club from 1936 to 1938.

SOONERS College sports fans are hard pressed to find a nickname that is as unique and as tied to a state’s history as a Sooner. The University of Oklahoma is the only school known as Sooners and those who claim they are Sooners say it with pride.

O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A Our chant rolls on and on! Thousands strong Join heart and song In alma mater’s praise Of campus beautiful by day and night Of colors proudly gleaming Red and White ‘Neath a western sky OU’s chant will never die. Live on University!

The Oklahoma Territory opened with the Land Run of 1889. Settlers from across the globe, seeking free land, made their way to the prairies of the plains to stake their claim. One of the few rules to claiming a lot of land was that all participants were to start at the same time, on the boom of a cannon. All settlers who started then were labeled as “Boomers” and those who left early were called “Sooners.”

BOOMER SOONER

OU athletics teams were called either Rough Riders or Boomers for 10 years before the current Sooner nickname emerged in 1908. The university actually derived its name

In 1905, Arthur M. Alden, a student in history and physiology whose father was a Norman jeweler, wrote the

28 OKLAHOMA MEN’S BASKETBALL | 2009-10

One of the most recognizable college fight songs in the country,“Boomer Sooner” immediately evokes enthusiasm from OU fans and sends chills down the spines of those who dare to oppose them.

S O O N E RS SOONER SPIRIT lyrics to the fight song, borrowing the tune from Yale University’s “Boola Boola” but improvising the words. A year later, an addition was made to it from North Carolina’s “I’m a Tarheel Born” and the two combined to form the university’s fight song today. Though the tune was first made known by Yale, the everlasting success of Sooner squads has taken the melody of “Boomer Sooner” to national popularity. Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner Boomer Sooner, OK U! Oklahoma, Oklahoma Oklahoma, Oklahoma Oklahoma, Oklahoma Oklahoma, OK U! I’m a Sooner born and Sooner bred and when I die, I’ll be Sooner dead Rah Oklahoma, Rah Oklahoma Rah Oklahoma, OK U!

MASCOTS

In the fall of 2005, the OU Athletics Deparment introduced costumed mascots. The new characters act as an extension of the Sooner Schooner and its horses to be enjoyed by fans — especially children — at all OU athletics contests. The costumes feature traditional collegiate gear as part of their regular uniform, but don team uniforms for football and men’s and women’s basketball.

CRIMSON AND CREAM In the fall of 1895, Miss Mary J. Overstreet, the first female faculty member, and Dr. James Buchanan served on a committee that selected “crimson” and “corn” as the official OU colors, but local merchants had difficulty determining the color of “corn” for merchandise. Very quickly the colors evolved to officially be crimson and cream and later began to include red and white as well. That same year, OU Oratorical Society students proudly displayed the colors for the first time and chanted the new university yell, Hi Rickety! Whoop-te-do, at a contest in Guthrie, then the state capital. The student body approved with great enthusiasm and immediately pennants, banners, badges and decorations of every description appeared on the streets, in the windows, at chapel, in classrooms, and all public places; however, local merchants could not supply the demand. Even though the school colors have evolved to red and white over the years, you can ask any self-respecting Sooner what the colors are and they will proudly announce “Crimson and Cream.” On gamedays, a sea of crimson rolls through OU’s home arenas and all Sooners are urged to wear the official colors to show the rest of the country what school spirit and Sooner Pride is all about.

PRIDE OF OKLAHOMA The Pride of Oklahoma Marching Band has been supporting Sooner Spirit for more than a century. Unlike many other college bands, which began as military drill units, the Pride of Oklahoma had its beginnings as a pep band. In the early years of the 1900s, both townspeople of Norman and students of OU participated in a band that played for football games. Professor John Merrill started the first band in 1901, which was composed mostly of townspeople and disbanded after each football season. Lloyd Curtis, a cornetist, founded the first continuous student band in 1904. Today, the 300-member Pride of Oklahoma has members representing virtually every college and major on campus. The Pride of Oklahoma stands for excellence in musicianship, academics, school spirit and commitment to our role in the community. “Boomer Sooner” rings out at the end of each rehearsal, and that song is the defining element of the University of Oklahoma. Maybe that is why Sooner fans love the band so much. Not much can compare to the first “go-go” at a football game when the Pride of Oklahoma marches the interlocking “OU” down the field playing “Boomer Sooner.”

Seen most often at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, the Sooner Schooner is a Conestoga — or covered wagon — reminiscent of the mode of travel used by pioneers who settled Oklahoma. The Schooner is powered by matching white ponies named Boomer and Sooner, and it ventures onto Owen Field in a triumphant victory ride after the OU football team scores. Although it was introduced in 1964, the Schooner did not become the official mascot until 1980. The Schooner is well-recognized by college athletics fans across the country.

During OU football and baseball games from 1915-1928, Mex the Dog wore a red sweater with a letter “O” on the side. Mex died of old age on April 30, 1928, and he was so popular among students and faculty that the university closed for his funeral and procession on May 2, 1928.

O K L AHOMA STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING

Strength is Our Strength The University of Oklahoma boasts top-of-the-line facilities, equipment, and personnel when it comes to its strength and conditioning programs. All are intended to give studentathletes every opportunity possible to succeed in the athletics arena. It is no wonder, then, that the OU men’s basketball team is recognized as one of the strongest and most physical squads in the country, year in and year out. Says Jozsef Szendrei, a former OU and professional basketball player who is in his first season working with Jeff Capel’s Sooners, “The more you invest, the more the return. Our return is winning games. There’s no substitute for work. Everybody who has succeeded has worked their butts off.” Consequently, the OU basketball strength and conditioning program is almost a year-round operation. The arrival of the new school year begins a rigorous preseason program, with a bulk of the lifting and running exercises occurring early in the morning before players go to class. During this time, discipline, work ethic and team chemistry are developed. “I try to make the players understand that they have to respect each other,” says Szendrei. “But that respect has to be earned every day through work. Preseason conditioning is when you really start building the foundation of your team. It gets you out of your comfort zone. It makes you perform because your teammates see you. If you’re a leader, then you have to lead. Leadership is a privilege that’s earned every day. Respect is not given.”

Szendrei also stresses eating well and makes team breakfast mandatory following preseason workouts. He tailors individual nutrition programs to each player’s needs. “What we put in our bodies is very important,” says Szendrei. “We want special results, so we can’t eat average food. If you put in average fuel, then you’ll get average results.” The start of practice does not mean the end of weight training. The team lifts throughout the season to maintain the gains it makes during its offseason and preseason routines. “The weight room is just an extension of the basketball court,” says Szendrei. “Everything we do in there has to be related to basketball.” Following the season, the Sooners break for a period of recuperation and rest. Then it’s back to work during the spring and summer for the crucial offseason regimen in which tremendous improvement will be made in strength, weight, speed, explosiveness and mental toughness. Summer is also a critical time in which Szendrei teaches proper form and lifting techniques to the incoming freshmen. “I like to make sure the mind and body are in sync,” he says. “It’s very important with everything that we do — whether it’s lifting, running, speed work or on the court — that our minds and bodies are functioning together. One cannot perform without the other.”

Top-Notch Health Care A commitment to total care exists in every facet of Oklahoma’s approach with its student-athletes. OU’s Henry J. Freede Sports Medicine Facility is one of the nation’s finest, and contains the most up-to-date modalities and equipment to ensure that a student-athlete is treated in the ultimate manner. A new spacious and sparkling Lloyd Noble Center training room offers the same amenities. It is complete with large whirlpools and an X-ray room.

“It has always been our goal to take a proactive approach to health care rather than just tending to our student-athletes after an injury,” says Alex Brown, in his 23rd year as athletics trainer in charge of men’s basketball. “Obviously, we would love it if our players never got hurt. But injuries are a reality, and we feel strongly that the medical personnel and facilities at the University of Oklahoma are unmatched when it comes to getting student-athletes back in action.”

The Sooner health care team focuses on prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. Equipment, training, medical and strength and conditioning staffs are jointly committed to health care and prevention. Pioneers in the prevention and treatment of injuries, the OU staff combines its knowledge with state-of-the-art technology to form one of the nation’s premier health care teams.

Blake Griffin, the 2009 consensus national player of the year, can vouch for OU’s vaunted health care team. Twice as a freshman, the forward returned to the court much earlier than expected following knee injuries. Both times he played an important role in conference wins.

O K L AHOMA COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Forming Friendships OU lives by a clear and strong motto in dealing with its student-athletes... Inspiring Champions for Today, Preparing Leaders for Tomorrow. To fulfill that promise, the athletics department and student-athletes take an active role in a number of community service projects. Sooner student-athletes are exposed to life outside of sports and school work with opportunities to serve and help others. The Student Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) is a committee made up of student-athletes from all 21 intercollegiate athletic teams at the University of Oklahoma. The group coordinates community service programs for the Sooners each month.

Oklahoma’s student-athletes recognize that wearing the Crimson and Cream means representing a popular sports program and themselves as individuals. They are encouraged to respond to a public that adores them, while learning important lessons about making a positive impact in the lives of others and in the community in which they live. Said OU junior guard Cade Davis,“Every young person has role models, and sometimes that responsibility falls on us — the student-athletes — to provide inspiration and friendship. The student-athletes at OU have done a remarkable job of embracing that responsibility by interacting with kids around the community, whether it’s making hospital visits, reading to elementary school classes or sharing smiles during instructional clinics. We’re not very far removed from that young age when we were seeking the very same inspiration that we’re now able to offer. It’s extremely rewarding to be able to teach or to put smiles on other peoples’ faces. We just hope it’s as rewarding for the kids as it is for us.”

S O O N E RS THE UNIVERSITY

The Legacy of Prentice Gautt In the 1950s, he came to the University of Oklahoma to play football, and, in the process, broke down racial barriers and crushed stereotypes as the school’s first African-American student-athlete. The OU Academics Center that today’s student-athletes use daily now bears the name of the man who left an indelible legacy for Sooner Athletics and helped change a society in the process. The Prentice Gautt Academics Center was formally dedicated on Sept. 17, 1999.

Gautt, considered Oklahoma’s best player in 1958, was a two-time All-Big Eight player and 1959 Orange Bowl MVP. During his senior year, Gautt was named to the Academic All-America team and eventually earned master’s and doctorate degrees in psychology. A special assistant to the commissioner of the Big 12 Conference, he passed away on March 17, 2005. Said OU president David L. Boren, “His personal example of quiet courage, grace under pressure and dedication to the university helped open the doors of opportunity for countless number of African-American and minority student-athletes who have followed him into collegiate athletics.”

u Head Coach

Jeff Capel

O K L AHOMA JEFF CAPEL

klahoma caught most college basketball insiders — if not all of them — by surprise when it named then-31-year-old Jeff Capel its 13th men’s basketball head coach on April 11, 2006. In three short seasons, Capel has made the OU decision makers who selected him look like geniuses. After serving four years as head coach at Virginia Commonwealth, Capel arrived in Norman ready to launch the Oklahoma program back into the national limelight, and he has done just that. In fact, Capel’s swift rebuilding project has netted him the most wins (69) and best winning percentage (.676) of any coach in OU history after three years at the helm.

u PERSONAL Born Feb. 12, 1975, in Fayetteville, N.C.

The Sooners’ last two campaigns have been particularly impressive, with seven-win improvements occurring both seasons. Oklahoma posted a 23-12 record in 2007-08 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. It followed with a 30-6 mark in 2008-09 and made the program’s first Elite Eight showing since 2003. Last year’s 30-win season was just the sixth ever for the school. Capel watched his squad bolt to a 25-1 start and reach the No. 2 spot in the national rankings — the program’s highest perch in 19 seasons. The Sooners’ on-court exploits have been buoyed by Capel’s remarkable achievement on the recruiting trail. The energetic mentor with Tobacco Road lineage has signed four McDonald’s All-Americans in the last three years. OU featured four such players in its history prior to his arrival. Capel’s success at Oklahoma should come as no surprise based on his performance at VCU, where he recorded a 79-41 (.658) overall record and a 50-22 (.694) mark in Colonial Athletic Association play. His Rams boasted a 47-11 overall home record for a staunch .811 winning percentage. In 2003-04, VCU’s CAA Tournament championship game victory over George Mason catapulted the Rams to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1996. VCU lost in the first round to Wake Forest, but not before putting a major scare into Chris Paul’s fourth-seeded Demon Deacons, 79-78. Capel’s 2004-05 squad, which finished 19-13, competed in the National Invitation Tournament, marking just the third time in VCU history that it made consecutive postseason appearances. The Rams won at least 18 games each of Capel’s four seasons at VCU with the 2003-04 squad registering a Capel-era-best 23-8 record. His first team finished 18-10 in 2002-03 as Capel tied a school record for wins by a first-year head coach. In 2005-06, VCU finished 19-10 overall and 11-7 in league play. In August 2005, Capel served as an assistant coach on the goldmedal-winning USA Men’s World University Games Team that finished 8-0 in Turkey. Villanova’s Jay Wright was the head coach while Seton Hall’s Bobby Gonzalez served as the other assistant. The squad featured, among others, Midwest City (Okla.) High School and Duke University standout Shelden Williams. Capel began his coaching career as an assistant at Old Dominion University in 2000 before moving to VCU as an assistant for the 2001-02 season. In 2002, he became the youngest NCAA Division I head coach at age 27. A four-year starter for Hall-of-Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski at Duke from the 1993-94 through 1996-97 campaigns, Capel earned Atlantic Coast Conference honors each of his seasons in Durham. The guard, who wore No. 5, averaged 12.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.7 3-pointers during his career. He ranks 22nd in career scoring at Duke (1,601 points), 16th in minutes played (3,774), sixth in 3-pointers (220), seventh in 3-point attempts (553), seventh in 3-point field goal percentage (.398) and 11th in assists (433).

S O O N E RS JEFF CAPEL

THE WORD ON CAPEL “Jeff Capel has been called one of the best young coaches in the country. We need to drop the adjective ‘young,’ because Jeff is one of the best coaches in the country, period. He took over during a difficult transition at Oklahoma and built things back up his way, and his way has proven to be a winning way. His players believe in him, and the results have been positive. The scary thing is, as good as Jeff is now, he’s getting better. I would love to play for a coach like Jeff Capel.”

“After three years at OU, the only item remaining on the Capel to-do list is the Final Four, and that’s a matter of when, not if. From his ability to dominate recruiting locally and nationally, to getting his players drafted at the No. 1 spot, to earning what should have been (if not for a Blake Griffin concussion) a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, Capel has met and exceeded every essential desire of any Sooner fan. After getting to know Jeff and his family, it is obvious that his appeal transcends parents and players alike.”

— Jay Bilas, ESPN Basketball Analyst

— Doug Gottlieb, ESPN Basketball Analyst

“It’s hard to recall a coach who has made a greater impact on a program in a shorter period of time. Coach Capel has proven himself to be one of the best recruiters in the game, and he has shown an impressive ability to develop and coach his talent. He hasn’t just built this program for short-term success. He is laying the foundation for Oklahoma to be one of the truly premier programs in America for a long time.”

“When Jeff Capel arrived at Oklahoma, he was considered by many to be a rising star in the coaching profession. It’s clear based on his accomplishments as the Sooners’ coach that he is simply a star. He is the complete package as a coach, recruiter, motivator and leader.” — Fran Fraschilla, ESPN Basketball Analyst

S O O N E RS DAVID L. BOREN UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT

16th Year at OU

avid L. Boren, who has served Oklahoma as governor and U.S. senator, became the thirteenth president of the University of Oklahoma in November 1994. He is the first person in state history to have served in all three positions. Boren is widely respected for his academic credentials, his longtime support of education, and for his distinguished political career as a reformer of the American political system. A graduate of Yale University in 1963, Boren majored in American history, graduated in the top one percent of his class and was elected Phi Beta Kappa. He was selected as a Rhodes Scholar and earned a master’s degree in politics, philosophy and economics from Oxford University, England, in 1965. In 1968, he received a law degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law, where he was on the Law Review, elected to the Order of the Coif, and won the Bledsoe Prize as the outstanding graduate by a vote of the faculty.

One of Boren’s most far-reaching projects in promoting quality education at all levels is the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence, which he founded in 1985. The foundation recognizes outstanding public school students and teachers and helps establish private local foundations to help give academic endowment grants to local public schools. As a senator, he was the author of the National Security Education Act in 1992, which provides scholarships for study abroad and for learning additional languages, as well as legislation to restore the tax deductibility of gifts of appreciated property to universities in 1993. Boren, also a former state legislator, spent nearly three decades in elective politics before becoming the president of the University of Oklahoma. Boren was the youngest governor in the nation when he served from 1974 to 1978. Known as a reformer, Boren campaigned with a broom as his symbol. During his term, he instituted many progressive programs, including conflict-of-interest rules, campaign-financing disclosure, stronger open meeting laws for public bodies, more competitive bidding on state government contracts, and reform of the state’s prison system, including expanded education programs for first-time offenders and the largest expansion of the work-release program in state history.

Under Boren’s leadership, the University of Oklahoma has developed and emerged as a “pacesetter university in American public higher education,” with 20 major new programs initiated since his inauguration. They include establishment of the Honors College, the Charles M. Russell Center for the Study of Art of the American West, a new expository writing program for freshmen modeled on the program at Harvard, an interdisciplinary religious studies program, the Artist-in-Residence Program, the International Programs Center, and the Faculty-in-Residence Program putting faculty family apartments in student residence halls. The Retired Professors Program has been started, bringing 50 retired full professors back to the University to teach freshmen. The number of new facilities started or completed on the campus during the Boren years has matched the explosion in new programs. Since 1994, almost $1 billion in construction projects have been completed or are under way on OU’s three campuses. Among the largest of the recent projects are the $18.7 million renovation and expansion of historic Holmberg Hall, home of music and dance programs; the $67 million National Weather Center; the $19 million addition to the Michael F. Price College of Business; the $17 million Gaylord Hall for journalism and mass communication; the $27 million Stephenson Research and Technology Center; and the $83.5 million stadium project. The Health Sciences Center has a new Student Union, and the new $24 million Stanton L. Young Biomedical Research Center. Presidential Travel Scholarships, students from 111 countries on campus, more reciprocal international exchange agreements than any other university and the new International Programs Center are all making OU more international. In 1995, Boren launched the “Reach for Excellence” fundraising campaign with a five-year goal of $200 million, which was twice as large as any fundraising drive in Oklahoma history. The drive exceeded $500 million, raising OU into the top 15 public universities in the U.S. in private endowment per capita. Since 1994, endowed professorships have more than quadrupled and the OU donor base has grown to more than 107,000 friends and alumni. Above all, the Boren years have been marked by an emphasis on putting students first. There is not a university president in the country that is more committed to students as his number one priority. He teaches a freshman-level course in political science each semester and is one of the few presidents of major universities to teach. Boren is married to Molly Shi Boren, a former judge and English teacher. Mrs. Boren is President Emeritus of the Oklahoma Arts Institute, which provides education programs in nine arts disciplines for high school students from across the state who are gifted in the arts. She has two degrees from OU, a master’s degree in English and a Juris Doctorate from the OU College of Law. A native of Seminole, Boren has two children, Carrie Christine Boren, an Episcopal minister, and David Daniel Boren, a member of the United States Congress from Oklahoma. Devoting much of his life to public service, Boren drew from the example of his parents, the late Congressman Lyle H. Boren and Christine Boren.

During his time in the U.S. Senate from 1979 to 1994, Boren served on the Senate Finance and Agriculture Committees and was the longest-serving chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. From his days as a state legislator and governor of Oklahoma to Washington, Boren carried a commitment to reform, leading numerous efforts to make government work better for American citizens. As chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he strengthened oversight of secret government programs and reformed the procedures for Presidential notice of such programs to Congress. For more than 10 years, he led the fight for congressional campaign finance reform and for legislation discouraging administration and congressional staff from cashing in on government experience and contacts by becoming lobbyists. In addition, he introduced legislation seeking to limit gifts and travel subsidies that government workers, including members of Congress, can receive from lobbyists. Boren also chaired the special 1992-93 Joint Committee on the Organization of Congress, which produced proposals to make Congress more efficient and responsive by streamlining congressional bureaucracy, reducing staff sizes and reforming procedures to end legislative gridlock. Boren left the U.S. Senate in 1994 with an approval rating of 9l percent after being reelected with 83 percent of the vote in 1990, the highest percentage in the nation in a U.S. Senate contest in that election year. Boren served from 1988 to 1997 as a member of the Yale University Board of Trustees. His

THE STAFF

As Oklahoma’s governor from 1974 through 1978, Boren promoted key educational initiatives that have had an enduring impact on Oklahoma. Established during his tenure were the Oklahoma Arts Institute, the Scholar-Leadership Enrichment Program and the Oklahoma Physicians Manpower Training Program, which provides scholarships for medical students and medical personnel who commit to practice in underserved rural areas. Also, the first state funding for Gifted and Talented classes was provided in 1976.

university experience also includes four years on the faculty of Oklahoma Baptist University, where he was chairman of the Department of Political Science and chairman of the Division of Social Sciences. In 1993, the American Association of University Professors presented Boren with the Henry Yost Award as Education Advocate of the Year.

O K L AHOMA JOE CASTIGLIONE VICE PRESIDENT FOR INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS PROGRAMS AND DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

12th Year at OU

rinciple-Centered Leader …Visionary ... Passionate Advocate for Student-Athletes ... Establishes Standards of Excellence & Cultural Values ... Builder of Championship Programs The success of the University of Oklahoma Athletics Department is known throughout the world of intercollegiate athletics. The last decade may stand as one of the most successful in school history and leading that effort is Joe Castiglione, the Sooner AD since 1998.

THE STAFF

Castiglione’s Sooner team has worked to create a place where competitive dreams come true and academic goals are reached with regularity. Excellence is the norm at OU, and the Sooners’ sports programs, student-athletes, coaches and staff are committed to that standard. For Castiglione, though, it’s not just about the championships and trophies. The victories that he celebrates with his Sooners include graduation rates that continue to climb, recordsetting grade point averages and academic honors. The true measure of achievement for Castiglione and, by extension, the department’s coaches and staff, is measured in the success of the student-athletes in relation to the department’s mission statement “Inspiring champions today … Preparing leaders for tomorrow.” With the support of OU President David L. Boren and OU’s seven-member Board of Regents, Castiglione has gone about creating a climate that creates lofty goals, high standards and a commitment to ethical behavior that is second to none. Since arriving at OU in 1998 after an outstanding career at Missouri, Castiglione has seen the Sooners finish in the top 30 of the Learfield Director’s Cup in nine of the last 11 years. Through his insistence that daily and longterm decisions be made in a financially responsible manner, the department has closed the books in the black in each of the last 11 years. In 2009, the department increased its direct support of the academic mission of the University by increasing its annual commitment to $4 million dollars. Through direct and indirect support, OU Athletics, under Castiglione’s leadership, provides more than $7 million to OU Academics.

That award was one of several earned by Castiglione and the department. The 2007 PRISM Award winner, presented by the School of Sports Management at the University of Massachusetts, OU was just the second Division I winner and all of the programs recognized by the selection panel were started under Castiglione’s leadership with the full support of university administration. His peers have honored him for the department’s achievements as well. In October 2004, the Bobby Dodd Foundation named him Athletics Director of the Year. In 2003, he was inducted into the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators Hall of Fame. In June 2001, he received the General Robert R. Neyland Athletic Director Award for lifetime achievement from the All-American Football Foundation. The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) named him Central Region AD of the Year in 2000. The achievement that may bring him the most pride, though, came in May 2007 when he completed his master’s of education degree from OU. To understand the need for education and lifelong learning, OU’s student-athletes just have to look at their AD who started and completed his master’s degree while running the department and maintaining his priorities to his family. He quickly put his experience to use as an adjunct professor in the College of Education, teaching a graduate class in Marketing & Development. In his tenure, OU has celebrated seven national team championships and more than 40 conference team titles; record numbers of graduating student-athletes and record-setting grade point averages for Sooner teams; dramatically increased donor giving; huge increases in ticket sales for all sports; major facility improvements, and development and construction of new facilities. Castiglione was instrumental in the athletics department’s major campaign, Great Expectations: The Campaign For Sooner Sports. The campaign ended in November of 2003 with more than $125 million raised. The figure has grown to almost $200 million since then as funds continue to be raised for facility improvements and scholarship endowments. The largest fund-raising effort in OU athletics history includes projects that impact each of OU’s nearly 500 student-athletes and has become a national model for intercollegiate athletics. Hired on April 30, 1998, Castiglione joined the Sooner family after serving as athletics director at Missouri. In his 17-year career with the Tigers, Castiglione, who was named director of athletics at Missouri on Dec. 15, 1993, was credited with rebuilding sports pro-

The 11th director of athletics in University of Oklahoma history, Castiglione is quick to give full credit to the student-athletes and coaches, the staff, OU President David L. Boren, the OU Board of Regents, the donors and the fans for the success experienced during his tenure. It was that commitment to a team approach emphasis that was one of the many qualities that that the search committee recognized when they recommended Castiglione to university administration in 1998. In recognition of the performance of OU’s teams on the field and in the classroom, of the fiscal stability created during his tenure, the dramatic increases in donor giving, facility construction and renovations, and the cutting-edge programs that the department has begun during his tenure, Castiglione was named Athletic Director of the Year in May 2009 by the Sports Business Journal.

QUITE A YEAR THE REVIEW

Sooners make run to Elite Eight, finish 30-6 behind sophomore runaway National Player of the Year Blake Griffin

n his third year as Oklahoma’s head coach, Jeff Capel guided the 2008-09 Sooners to one of the most successful seasons in school history. OU compiled a 30-6 overall record and a 13-3 Big 12 Conference mark (second place), and reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament as a No. 2 seed before losing to eventual national champion North Carolina. The campaign was also filled with tremendous individual accomplishment and was punctuated by sophomore forward Blake Griffin sweeping national player of the year honors. A list of team and individual achievements are below.  Oklahoma’s 30-6 record marked the fifth 30-win campaign in school history. Its .833

winning percentage tied as its fifth best in the last 80 years.  The Sooners posted their 28th consecutive winning season (the longest streak among

Big 12 schools and second longest nationally).  OU advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the 13th time in the last 15 years and for the

22nd time in the last 27 seasons. Only Arizona (25), Duke (25), Kansas (25), North Carolina (25) and Indiana (23) have participated in more NCAA Tournaments over the last 27 years.  The team’s NCAA Tournament Elite Eight appearance was the seventh in school history and third in the last eight seasons.  The Sooners’ 30 wins gave the program at least 20 victories for the 11th time in the last 12 campaigns. OU has averaged 24.1 wins over the last 12 years.  The team’s 13-3 record in Big 12 Conference play tied the 2001-02 squad for best in school history. OU finished one game out of first place in the league race.  The Sooners reached the No. 2 spot in the AP and ESPN/USA Today top-25 polls for three weeks in February. It was their highest ranking since the 1989-90 season. They spent all but the first three weeks of last season in the top 10 of both polls and finished No. 7 in each.  OU won its first 12 games of the season, good for the fourth-best start in school history. After a Dec. 30 loss at Arkansas, the Sooners reeled off 13 more wins to improve to 25-1. It marked the best one-loss start in the history of the program and the second best in the history of the Big 12 (Kansas was 34-1 in 1996-97).  Oklahoma won its first 11 Big 12 games, giving the program its best start in conference play since the 1984-85 team also went 11-0 to open Big Eight play.  The Sooners’ .492 season field goal percentage ranked No. 2 nationally and represented their best in 21 seasons.  OU held teams to a combined .398 field goal mark, the program’s lowest opponent figure in 48 years.  Oklahoma posted an 11-1 record against non-conference opponents that won at least 20 games last season.

102 OKLAHOMA MEN’S BASKETBALL | 2009-10

GRIFFIN SWEEPS NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE YEAR HONORS Sophomore forward Blake Griffin, who was named the Big 12 Player of the Year by league head coaches and was a unanimous first-team choice for the all-league squad, swept national player of the year honors. The 6-10, 251-pounder averaged 22.7 points and 14.4 rebounds per game while shooting .654 from the field, all Big 12 bests. Nationally, he ranked first in rebounding and double-doubles (30), second in field goal percentage and 11th in scoring. He also averaged 2.3 assists per game, more than any other Big 12 player taller than 6-foot-5. To boot, Griffin ranked fifth in the league with his 1.2 blocked shots per game and ranked third on OU with his 1.2 steals average. Griffin, who is OU’s second Big 12 Player of the Year (Hollis Price was named AP Big 12 Player of the Year in 2003), set several OU and Big 12 records this season.  Griffin obliterated the school and Big 12 records

for rebounds in a season with his 504 boards. Wayman Tisdale held the former OU record with 378 in 1984-85 while Kansas’ Drew Gooden (423 in 2001-02) held the former Big 12 single-season mark. Griffin’s rebound total was the highest by any player nationally since Larry Bird grabbed 505 in 1978-79.  Griffin set school and Big 12 single-season records for rebounds per game with his 14.4 average. The previous OU record was 13.3 by Alvan Adams (set in 1974-75) while the previous Big 12 record was 12.4 by Kansas State’s Michael Beasley (set in 2007-08). Griffin’s 14.3 rebounds per Big 12 game also set a league record (Texas’ Kevin Durant averaged 12.5 in 2006-07).  Griffin’s 215 boards in Big 12 play set a league record, and that was with him missing a game and a half due to a concussion. Durant held the previous mark with 200 in 2007.

S O O N E RS 2008-09 RECAP  Griffin’s 30 double-doubles represented single-season school and Big 12 records. Alvan

Adams (1973-74) and Garfield Heard (1969-70) held the previous OU mark with 21. Michael Beasley registered 28 in 2007-08 for Kansas State.  With a .654 season field goal mark, Griffin set OU and Big 12 records. Al Beal (.627 in 1978-79) held the OU record while Colorado’s David Harrison (.631 in 2003-04) owned the Big 12 mark.  Griffin set the OU career record for field goal percentage (minimum of 500 attempts) with a .618 figure. The old mark was .578 by Tisdale.  Griffin recorded three games of at least 20 points and 20 rebounds on the season, a Big 12 record. Only one other league player (Beasley had two) has ever recorded more than one such outing in a career.  Griffin attempted 324 free throws on the year, breaking Stacey King’s former school record of 294 in 1988-89 and Beasley’s old Big 12 record of 279. Griffin also set the OU singleseason mark for free throw attempts per game with 9.3 (King averaged 8.9 in 1988-89).  Griffin’s 40 points and 23 rebounds against Texas Tech Feb. 14 represent the only 40/20 game in Big 12 history. His 23 boards tied the most ever in a league contest (Durant in 200607 and Kansas’ Nick Collison in 2002-03 also grabbed 23 boards in a Big 12 game).  Griffin recorded a Big 12-record 15 games of at least 20 points and 15 rebounds. The former record was seven in a season (Durant in 2006-07 and Beasley in 2007-08).  Griffin earned six Big 12 Player of the Week awards last season, tying a league record.

MORE GRIFFIN  Blake Griffin’s 14.4 rebounds per game were the highest average nationally since Tim

u The only player in OU history to score more points as a true freshman than Willie Warren did last year (510) was Wayman Tisdale in 1982-83.

which named him national freshman of the year. The 6-4, 207-pounder averaged 14.6 points and 3.1 assists in 31.3 minutes per game to rank second on the team in all three categories. He also made a team-high 67 3-pointers and shot a team-best .372 from behind the arc. Here are more notes on Warren’s 2008-09 season...  Warren started 34 games on the year, one more than the previous OU freshman record of

33 by Kevin Bookout in 2002-03.

 Warren’s 14.6 scoring average was easily the highest among Big 12 freshmen (Kansas’

Tyshawn Taylor ranked second at 9.7 ppg).

 Warren recorded seven games of at least 20 points, the most by an OU true freshman

since Tim McCalister recorded nine of them in 1983-84. Warren registered at least 27 points four times and broke the 30-point barrier twice to become the first OU true frosh since McCalister to record multiple 30-point outings.  The Fort Worth, Texas, product finished the year ranked third on OU’s all-time freshman scoring chart (525 points), sixth in points per game (14.6), first in 3-pointers (67), fourth in free throws made (114) and attempted (146), fifth in assists (113) and fifth in steals (41).  Warren ranked 13th in the Big 12 in scoring and 12th in free throw percentage (.781).  Warren shot .273 from 3-point range over OU’s first 10 games (12-for-44) but posted a .404 figure over the last 26 games. He made at least two 3-pointers in a contest 17 times and at least three treys eight times (his high was seven at Arkansas).  Warren was especially effective in the Sooners’ 11 true road games, averaging 17.0 points and 3.8 assists while shooting .460 from 3-point range (29-for-63).  Warren was named Big 12 Rookie of the Week seven times (one shy of the record).

NCAA TOURNAMENT REVIEW  The South Region’s No. 2 seed, Oklahoma advanced to the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight

for the seventh time in school history and third time in the last eight years. The Sooners beat No. 15 seed Morgan State (82-54) and No. 10 seed Michigan (73-63) in Kansas City. In the regional semifinals in Memphis, they downed No. 3 seed Syracuse (84-71) before falling to No. 1 seed and eventual national champion North Carolina in the regional final (72-60).

2009-10 | OKLAHOMA MEN’S BASKETBALL 103

THE REVIEW

Duncan pulled down 14.7 a contest for Wake Forest in 1996-97. He led OU in rebounding 31 times in his 35 games.  Griffin became the first Sooner to grab at least 18 rebounds in four straight games (he did it the first four games of the year). He also became the first player in Big 12 Conference history to record back-to-back games of at least 20 points and 20 boards.  Griffin’s 40 points against Texas Tech Feb. 14 were the most by a Sooner in 15 seasons while his 23 rebounds in the same contest were the most in 20 years.  In four NCAA Tournament games, Griffin averaged 28.5 points, 15.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists while shooting .780 from the field. His 33 points and 17 rebounds against Michigan accounted for the NCAA Tournament’s first 30/15 game since 2003.  Griffin logged at least two assists in 26 games. His 16 games of at least three handouts broke his own school record for players standing at least 6-foot-10.  Griffin finished the year with team highs of 90 dunks (2.6 average) and 13 charges taken.

The 3-point shot was not as kind, however, as OU posted a .296 mark from long range (as opposed to a .631 mark from inside the arc).  Blake Griffin was the NCAA Tournament’s most effective player statistically, registering double-doubles in all four contests and averaging 28.5 points, 15.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists while shooting a gaudy .780 from the field.  Griffin finished with 28 points and 13 rebounds against Morgan State, 33 points and 17 boards against Michigan, 30 points and 14 rebounds versus Syracuse and 23 points and 16 caroms against North Carolina.  Griffin’s 14 field goals and 17 rebounds versus Michigan tied OU NCAA Tournament records, while his 33 points were the fifth most in school NCAA Tournament history.  Griffin became the first player since Houston’s Elvin Hayes in 1968 to register at least 91 points and 44 rebounds over their first three games of an NCAA Tournament.  In OU’s first-round win over Morgan State, Blake and Taylor Griffin combined for 46 of the team’s 82 points and went a combined 18-for-20 from the field (.900). Blake was 11-for-12 while Taylor was 8-for-9.  Against Syracuse in the regional semifinals, Tony Crocker scored a career-high 28 points on 9-for-17 field goal and 6-for-11 3-point shooting. Crocker, who was 1-for-15 from 3-point range and totaled 21 points over OU’s five previous outings, snapped a seven-game streak of single-digit scoring.  The Sooners used a 28-5 run at the end of the first half and start of the second to open a 56-29 lead in their victory over Syracuse. OU never trailed in the contest and knocked off an Orange squad that had won nine of its previous 10 games.  After shooting .544 from the field over their first three NCAA Tournament games, Oklahoma shot .444 against North Carolina. It also posted a season-low .105 (2-for-19) mark from 3-point territory.

OFFENSIVE NOTES  The Sooners were held under 70 points just six times in 36 games (60, 61, 64, 68, 69 and

69) and averaged 78.7 points per game on the year. It was their highest scoring average in 13 seasons (averaged 79.0 in 1995-96).  OU shot .400 or better from 3-point range in 11 of its final 20 games. It ranked second in Big 12 play with a .392 3-point mark.  In OU’s 15 regular season non-league games, Austin Johnson averaged 6.6 points and was 13-for-47 (.277) from 3-point range. In 16 Big 12 games, he averaged 10.6 points and was 26-for-65 (.400) from long range. Johnson earned honorable mention all-conference honors.  Despite a modest .675 team free throw percentage (it ranked ninth in the Big 12), Oklahoma made just two fewer foul shots (627) than its opponents attempted (629). OU shot 300 more free throws than its foes, good for an average of 8.3 more per game.

DEFENSIVE NOTES  Oklahoma ranked second in the Big 12 (all games) with its .398 field goal percentage

defense. The last time OU held opponents to a lower collective figure for an entire season was 48 years earlier (.377 in 1960-61).  OU held 16 of its 36 opponents to a sub-.400 field goal mark (13 under a .360 figure).  Oklahoma ranked third in the Big 12 with its 4.3 blocked shots per contest. Juan Pattillo ranked third in league play with his 1.3 rejections per outing, while Blake Griffin ranked fifth (1.1) and Taylor Griffin seventh (1.0). Point guard Austin Johnson had 28 blocks in 36 outings on the year (ranked 14th in the Big 12) for the highest average (0.8) among league guards.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES  The Sooners were 30-4 last year in games Blake Griffin did not miss any time due to

injury. He played only 11 minutes in a Feb. 21 loss at Texas due to a first-half concussion and missed the following game against Kansas (also a loss).  Griffin averaged 26.7 points and 17.2 rebounds over his last nine full games (not including the Feb. 21 Texas game when he played 11 minutes). He was 96-for-133 (.722) from the field in those nine outings.  Discounting the aforementioned game at Texas, Griffin registered a double-double in each of his last 16 outings.  Over the final nine games, Taylor Griffin averaged 11.8 points and 5.8 boards while shooting .586 from the floor.  The Griffin brothers combined for 55 percent of OU’s individual rebounds on the season and shot a combined .586 from the field. One of the two led the team in rebounding in 35 of 36 games (Ryan Wright paced the Sooners with seven boards Feb. 23 against Kansas when Blake Griffin did not play).  OU was 27-1 last year when outshooting its opponent and 3-5 when being outshot.  In Big 12 play, Oklahoma led the league in field goal percentage (.499) and ranked second in 3-point field goal percentage (.392). It ranked second in field goal percentage defense (.413) and third in 3-point field goal percentage defense (.332).  Five Sooners scored at least 20 points in a game last season. Blake Griffin did it a teamhigh 24 times and was followed by Willie Warren (seven times), Tony Crocker (four times), Taylor Griffin and Austin Johnson (once each).  Oklahoma used the same starting lineup in 33 of its 36 games last year (Blake and Taylor Griffin, Crocker, Warren, Johnson).  The Sooners were 11-1 on the year against non-conference foes that won at least 20 games (wins against American, Davidson, Michigan, Morgan State, Purdue, Syracuse, Tulsa, UAB, USC, Utah and VCU, and a loss to North Carolina).

u The Sooners won the 16-team NIT Season Tip-Off title at Madison Square Garden in November. OU rallied to beat No. 10 Purdue in overtime, 87-82, in the championship game.

A RECORD SETTING SEASON Led by a trio of future first-round NBA draft picks, the 1987-88 Sooners played in the national championship game and set numerous school records that still stand, including season marks for victories (35), points per game (102.9), rebounds, field goals, 3-point field goals, assists and steals. Stacey King was one of five players who averaged double figures in points. King averaged 22.3 points and was followed by Harvey Grant (20.9), Mookie Blaylock (16.4), Ricky Grace (14.3) and Dave Sieger (10.9). King, Grant and Blaylock were all first-round NBA Draft picks.

u Oklahoma starting guards Quannas White (No. 4) and Hollis Price direct teammates from the bench during the 2002 Big 12 Tournament championship game in Kansas City. The Sooners beat the No. 1 ranked Kansas Jayhawks, 64-55, to claim their second of three straight titles.

TOURNAMENT TOUGH

Oklahoma tied a Big 12 record in March 2004 with its 10th consecutive league tournament game victory (a 63-59 win over Nebraska in the first round).

MEDIA INFORMATION

For the fourth time in its 13-year history a Big 12 student-athlete won the Heisman Trophy. The Big 12 also established a high-water mark, as for the first time in the 74-year history of the Heisman Trophy four of the top five vote-getters hailed from the same conference, including award-winner Sam Bradford (Oklahoma). Over the past five seasons a total of 13 NCAA trophies have been hoisted by Big 12 institutions, with at least one national crown won in all but one year for the Conference. The Big 12 leads all conferences with its six appearances in BCS title games. League squads have played for the football national championship six times in the last nine years with berths in 16 BCS games overall, including two each in 2007 and 2008. The Big 12 led all conferences with five teams ranked in the final 2008 BCS Standings. In addition, an all-time high nine league players earned consensus All-America recognition this past season, more than any other conference. In basketball, 10 women’s and nine men’s teams have advanced to their respective Final Fours in the past eight seasons as the Big 12 continues its place among the elite intercollegiate athletic conferences. The six men’s Final Four participants since 2002 are tied for the most of any conference. The Big 12 had a national player of the year honoree for the third straight year when Blake Griffin (Oklahoma) was the consensus winner in 2008-09. Courtney Paris (Oklahoma) gave the conference a consensus All-America selection in women’s basketball for the ninth straight season. The Big 12 and its member institutions are committed to a competitive environment where sportsmanship and fair play take center stage. Whether on the field, in the classroom, or within the community the student-athletes, administrators, coaches and game officials of the Big 12 support the highest ideals in sportsmanship. Big 12 student-athletes also do well in garnering national academic recognition. Sarah Pavan (Nebraska) was named Academic All-America of the Year in volleyball in 2006 and 2007 by ESPN The Magazine and College Sports Information Directors of America with a 4.0 grade-point average in Biochemistry. In its history, the conference has more than 330 academic honorees, averaging more than 25 each season. The Big 12 can boast of other stories that combine on- and off-the-field success. Patience Knight (Texas Tech) was the recipient of the Honda Inspiration Award in 2008, given to an outstanding female college athlete who overcomes adversity to excel in her sport. She was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in 2007, but rebounded to win All-America honors at the 2008 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships. The Big 12 sponsors 21 sports.
