The
Baylor Lady Bears ranked number 1 in both poles, will be
heavy favorites to win the women's NCAA Division 1
basketball championship for the 2011-1012 season.
Baylor will be led by junior "Miss
All-Everything," Brittney Griner. The
6-foot-8 Griner has begun laying the foundation for super
stardom. As
a defensive force of nature, she
set the NCAA single-season blocks record in her freshman campaign
with 223 rejections. She also set both the NCAA single game block record
(14) against Georgetown on March 23, 2010, as well as, the
tournament record with 40 block shots.
Her
6.0 blocks average during her freshman year during the 2009-2010 regular season was second in
the NCAA behind St. Mary's 6-4 junior forward, Louella
Tomlinson, who averaged 6.5 blocks per game. The freshman
was third in the Conference in both scoring and rebounding
with 18.4 points per game and 8.5 rebounds per game. She posted three triple-doubles to tie for the most in a
season in Big 12 history and is two shy of tying the
league career mark.
For
the 2010-2011 season the sophomore averaged a team-leading
23.0 points
and 7.8 rebounds a game. In addition, she has blocked a
nation-best 170 shots (an average of 4.7 blocks per
game). Her career block shots total currently
stands at 391.

THE
BEST IS YET TO COME!
The time is right! The time is now! The Lady Bears are
heavy favorites to win their first National Championship
during the Griner era. Baring injury at key positions, I
expect the Baylor Lady Bears to not only win the Big 12
conference, but to run the table without a single loss,
thus putting them in an elite class, while bring home a national title.
