NORMAN — The biggest ovations of Saturday's Oklahoma basketball Legends Alumni Game came at halftime.

First, longtime Sooners coach Billy Tubbs was introduced after the players from his era, drawing an extended ovation.

Then Sooners' radio voice Toby Rowland interviewed Blake Griffin.

“I thought it was a thunderous start for your team,” Rowland said, drawing an even louder ovation as he referenced rumors that Griffin could be a target of the Oklahoma City Thunder when he's able to become a free agent after the season.

For his part, Griffin just soaked in the cheers and smiled.
