Brittney Griner Is Back

 ESPN is blessing us with 24 uninterrupted hours of college basketball today. Schools like Louisville and Kansas St. are among those in action. Michigan St. coach Tom Izzo will also be featured in a game against South Carolina as he continues celebrating his decision not to coach the Cleveland Cavaliers.
 At 6 pm eastern, I'm ditching the men's action to watch ESPN2's clash between the top two ranked teams in college women's basketball. Brittney Griner leads Baylor to Connecticut to battle Maya Moore's Huskies who are riding a 79 game winning streak. At 6'8", Griner is the most awe inspiring dominant player in women's basketball. She dunks in games and is capable of a points-rebounds-blocks triple-double on any given night. 
 Baylor's last loss was to UConn in last year's NCAA tournament. Tina Charles battled the 6'8" Griner for the Huskies last year, but she's now in the WNBA. Tonight, 6'5" freshman Stefanie Dolson will try to contain the Baylor center.
 Here's to Griner getting a triple double, 2 dunks and a streak-busting win over UConn and Geno Auriemma this evening.
