02/28/2009 - Lubbock, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Blake Griffin logged 37 minutes in his first game in a week and didn't miss a beat, logging 20 points and 19 rebounds, as No. 3 Oklahoma fought off the upset-minded Texas Tech Red Raiders, 78-63.
Griffin suffered a concussion in the first half of last weekend's tilt against Texas and sat out Monday's pivotal conference matchup vs. Kansas. The Sooners (26-3, 12-2 Big 12) lost both games without the National Player of the Year front-runner to fall behind the Jayhawks in the Big 12 standings.
Blake and brother Taylor's 22-point, eight-rebound effort got Oklahoma back to its winning ways on Saturday. The team made 49.1 percent of its shots and won the battle on the glass, 36-22. Austin Johnson chipped in 10 points for the victors.
John Roberson paced the Red Raiders (12-17, 2-12) with 17 points and seven assists but it wasn't enough in Texas Tech's 10th loss in 11 games. Nick Okorie and Robert Lewandowski posted 13 and 11 points, respectively, in defeat.
Midway through the second half, Omar Leary sank a three-pointer to end a mini- drought for Oklahoma, which led 53-49 with nine minutes on the clock.
It was a three-point margin a little later and Blake Griffin managed a hoop and a foul, hitting the free throw for a 59-53 edge with 6 1/2 minutes to go.
After two Roberson freebies, Johnson nailed a three-ball around two makes from Taylor Griffin and the visitors jumped out to a 66-55 advantage.
Lewandowski made it a nine-point game on a jumper with less than 3:30 left. Johnson, though, was again true from behind the arc to rebuild the Sooners' double-digit lead.
Oklahoma proceeded to hit six straight free throws while the Red Raiders turned the ball over and missed two threes to fall just short yet again.
The Griffin brothers combined for the first seven points of the game, and the Sooners appeared to be ready for a much-needed blowout win.
But the Red Raiders battled throughout the first half, getting within two points, 28-26, on Roberson's jumper late in the stanza. Blake Griffin dropped in a pair of buckets around a Davis three-pointer before TTU's Mike Singletary sank two free throws for a 35-28 score at halftime.
Johnson's two free throws 3 1/2 minutes into the second half had the Sooners ahead, 46-35. TTU's subsequent 9-2 run made it a four-point game and Lewandowski's three-point play at the midway point got the hosts within 50-49.
Game Notes
Oklahoma cruised past Texas Tech by a 95-74 final just two weeks ago and owns a 29-16 series advantage over the Red Raiders...Alan Voskuil finished with 10 points for Texas Tech, which made 37.9 percent from the field in the loss.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
