NORMAN — Two days before the 2008-09 University of Oklahoma men’s basketball squad plays its first exhibition game, sophomore forward Blake Griffin was named to the five-man Associated Press preseason All-America team on Monday.
Griffin garnered 45 votes (out of 72) and was joined on the team by North Carolina’s Tyler Hansbrough (72 votes), Davidson’s Stephen Curry (66 votes), Notre Dame’s Luke Harangody (58 votes) and UCLA’s Darren Collison (46 votes).
The 6-foot-10, 251-pound Griffin is Oklahoma’s first preseason AP first-team All-American since Ryan Minor in 1995-96.
