Did anyone see the judo flip on the OU player?

[Texas Aggie]

I don't know anything other than what I saw, which was only a few second clip of the game. The two players were apparently tangled up and the OU player trying to break free. They were in the (now) backcourt and the opposing player (don't remember the team) takes Blake Griffin's arm and does a body flip! I've never seen anything like it short of pro wrestling.

The replay didn't show what happened after that. The officials stopped play for what I assume was a foul call, but I don't know what they called. Based upon just seeing the flip, would anyone NOT call a flagrant foul on this?

They immediately ejected the Morgan State player.

Griffin later went to the bench and fell to his back in pain.

I only saw the replay as they have us watching Illinois get beat down by Western Kentucky (hee hee ). Looked like a good call by the officials.

I'm sure it was out of frustration but it was still ridiculous. To his credit, Blake got up and walked away. This isn't the first time this year an opponent has come after him. Griffin and Hansbrough seem to both get a lot of this type of crap. They're both so physical and tenacious, other players get frustrated and do stupid stuff.

Looked similar to the Thabeet-Blair play earlier. This one looked flagrant rather than incidental

At least the Thabeet-Blair play, the players were fighting over the ball. These players were not near the ball and the player that flipped over Blake did a completely unnatural motion as it related to the game and situation.
