It was only a matter of time before Baylor's 6 foot 8 freshman phenom b-baller Brittney Griner threw down a dunk in NCAA competition, especially in light of the fact she dunked 52 times at Aldine Nimitz.She's already thrown one down in an NCAA exhibition game, and had missed connections on one handed dunk attempts in two previous games.
Five minutes into the first half of the Number 8 ranked Lady Bears 104-45 victory Tuesday night over Jacksonville State, Griner officially became the seventh woman to do so in an NCAA game.
Oh yeah, she had 20 points, six rebounds and eight blocked shots as well in 21 minutes of playing time.
In case you're wondering who the other six women are in the NCAA collegiate hoops dunking sorority, its West Virginia's Georgeann Wells (the first to do so), Tennessee's Candace Parker (seven times, first to so in the NCAA tournament, and first to do so twice in one game) LSU's Sylvia Fowles, North Carolina's Charlotte Smith, Tennessee's Michelle Snow, and ahem, Houston's Sancho Lyttle.
