Baylor beats Lady Vols 77-62 to advance in NCAAs

MEMPHIS – Brittney Griner was both bigger and better this time – taking out Tennessee in the process.

Griner had 27 points and 10 blocks to lead fourth-seeded Baylor to a 77-62 win over the top-seeded Lady Vols on Saturday and advance to the NCAA tournament regional finals for a second time.

And the highly anticipated matchup between the Lady Vols and Connecticut – which could have happened in the Final Four – will have to wait for at least another season.
