Baylor's Griner becomes 7th woman to dunk

From: www.ap.org

For Baylor freshman sensation Brittney Griner, it was just another dunk. Something she is used to doing. Except for an audible "Yes!" when she finally slammed one down for the eighth-ranked Lady Bears, the 6-foot-8 Griner was pretty nonchalant when she became only the seventh woman to dunk in a college game with a one-handed slam Tuesday night in a 104-45 victory over Jacksonville State. "Sometimes I'll dunk, I get pumped up. Sometimes I really don't feel the dunk. I'm real particular on my dunks," said Griner, who dunked routinely in high school. "If I slammed it two-handed, I probably would have gotten more ... Read Full Story

No. 8 Baylor routs 17th-ranked Cal

From: www.ap.org

Brittney Griner had her chance to dunk in the waning minutes and missed again. It didn't matter much. Baylor's 6-foot-8 freshman sensation did enough work to alter shots on the defensive end in the eighth-ranked Lady Bears' 69-49 rout of No. 17 California on Sunday, a highly anticipated matchup pitting two of the country's top young teams. Griner had 15 points, seven rebounds and five blocked shots, missing a right-handed dunk along the baseline off a behind-the-back pass from Melissa Jones with 2:08 remaining. Shanay Washington scored 18 points to go with four assists, and Baylor used a big run to start the second ... Read Full Story

From: www.ap.org

Baylor freshman phenom Brittney Griner had 10 points, 11 rebounds, eight blocks and missed her only dunk attempt before fouling out with 10 minutes left in the eight-ranked Lady Bears' home opener, a 100-55 victory over Tennessee Tech on Tuesday night.

She did rebound her miss and was fouled on a putback try, then made one of the free throws to put Baylor (2-0) up 51-29. While Baylor appeared to be trying to get the ball inside to Griner ...
