I still remember the defensive stopper for Iowa being quoted after UofL took out Iowa in the semifinal game in 1980. He said of Griff “I’ve guarded lots of guys who could jump high. The difference is they all came down!”

Yes it’s true he could really get up there I saw him play in madisonville ky. He and Turner were almost hitting there heads on rebounds. A madisonville player Jones I think could also jump out the gym. Saw him block almost every player on Lou Males,s team. They too had a great team thinl Lou won by 3 That game is still talked about today.
