Brittney Griner Explodes for 33 Things, 22 Boards in Ultimate House Sport at Baylor

As Brittney Griner left Baylor's Ferrell Center ground to a standing ovation for the ultimate time on Tuesday night, she was once more triumphant. Her Lady Bears had defeated the Florida State Seminoles 85-47 in exactly the same dominant fashion as always, with the staff looking well coming to another consecutive national title. Griner, once again, had shined brightest in her greatest career time. She had 33 items on 15-of-22 firing, which included three split dunks as the Seminoles were eviscerated by her inside. She had 22 boards, traveling over her smaller competitors who appeared dwarf-like against her 6'8" figure. She also had four blocks, swatting away each shot with the nonchalance of a grizzly bear poaching a trout in a running river. She was, for not enough better expression, Brittney Griner. Though she still has one or more and up to three games remaining in her collegiate career, there seemed to be some feeling of closure when Griner went off the ground. It was her final game in the area she'd called home for days gone by four decades, and while she'll certainly go on to WNBA success, Griner might never be as titular of a as she was on Tuesday. It's the exact same with all elderly college athletes.AThese followers in attendance had seen Griner grow over time from the uber-talented but sopping-behind-the-ears newcomer all the way to gradually ascending to the Mount Rushmore of women's college hoops. Griner was averaging 23.9 details, eight rebounds and 4.2 blocks per game, but those counting figures fail to capture her true effect. To call Griner probably the most dominant collegiate women's person alive is really a disservice. She's a force therefore singular and unique that a state that often acts with indifference towards women's basketball was standing at attention. Though some would try to ignore it, Griner's capability to dunk is very important. It is a part of what separates her from her friends, both present and past. But combined with dunking is definitely an very nearly Iversonian swagger, the righteous self-belief that she is the very best person on earth and no one can stop her. And, once more, Tuesday evening proved that's true. Griner and the rest of her Baylor teammates offered a show one last time to Waco. While Baylor might not repeat as national champions, everyone at the Ferrell Center knew what they were observing. There were a lot of notable looks, including former President George W. Bush, in attendance who understood what these final 40 minutes meant. Here is to hoping folks outside of Waco recognize and enjoy the value of Griner's next 40 minutes because they may be her last.
