Baylor's Brittney Griner Is The Second Woman To Ever Dunk In An NCAA Tournament Game
Brittney Griner's dunk early in the second half against Florida gave top-ranked Baylor a 13-point cushion, but it was only the second time a woman had dunked in a NCAA tournament game, after Tennessee's Candace Parker did it twice against Army back in the 2006 tourney. The throwdown was Griner's sixth in her collegiate career, one short of Parker's all-time record.
After Baylor secured the 19-point win, Griner said her teammates may have enjoyed the play more than she did. "I think my team got fired up a little bit more than me. I got a little bit more fired up, I think, on one of the blocks I had. ... But it definitely felt good throwing it down."
