Baylor Freshman Griner Provides Dunk Preview

WACO, Texas (AP) ― Baylor freshman phenom Brittney Griner has her first dunk in a game for the No. 7 Lady Bears, though she is not yet officially the seventh woman to dunk in a college game.

Griner's right-handed dunk came with 14:25 left Saturday night in Baylor's exhibition game against Incarnate Word.

More than 6,000 people attended the game, similar to the crowd for the exhibition opener Tuesday when Griner played 19 minutes without a dunk.

With cheers still ringing from her dunk against Incarnate Word, Griner followed with a blocked shot on the ensuing possession.

Griner, a 6-foot-8 freshman, gets her first chance to dunk in a real game when the Lady Bears play their regular season opener Nov. 15 at eighth-ranked Tennessee.
