Look away if you’re still waiting for the Oklahoma-Florida BCS national championship. The folks in Norman, Okla., may not realize it, but it is basketball season.
The biggest test of the season awaits Arkansas tonight in Bud Walton Arena, where No. 4 Oklahoma will be ready to go toe-to-toe with the young Razorbacks. Plenty of chatter about this one around the Ozarks today, especially on the possible No. 1 NBA draft pick, Blake Griffin, coming to town. But OU is a lot more than just Griffin, as you’ll find out below.
Here are some stories, notes and other tidbits to tide you over until we crank up our Live Game Blog at 7 p.m.
