N.C.A.A. Women's Tournament - Griner Dunks and Baylor Rolls - NYTimes.com Brittney Griner became the second woman to dunk in an N.C.A.A. tournament game Tuesday night, slamming one down with her right hand early in the second half of top-seeded Baylor's 76-57 win over ninth-seeded Florida in Bowling Green, Ohio. Griner, a 6-foot-8 junior, went nearly 12 minutes without scoring at the beginning of the game, but finished with 25 points, including the night's biggest highlight. Odyssey Sims added 14 points for Baylor (36-0). Azania Stewart led Florida (20-13) with 14. Candace Parker of Tennessee dunked twice in an N.C.A.A. tournament game in 2006 against Army. Griner's dunk was her first of the season and sixth of her career. Parker holds the career record with seven. Baylor led by 35-26 at halftime, but Griner was only beginning to assert herself. She scored 8 points in the first half, including 6 in the final 3 minutes 56 seconds. Griner began the second half with a turnaround and a layup. Then Kimetria Hayden came up with an offensive rebound near the basket and passed to an open Griner, who stepped toward the basket, stretched out her right arm and dunked for the first time since Feb. 19, 2011, at Texas Tech. The Lady Bears led, 41-28. Although Florida did not crumble, the Gators were never really able to make a game of it down the stretch. Baylor has not lost since falling in the quarterfinals of last year's N.C.A.A. tournament. The Lady Bears will face fourth-seeded Georgia Tech in the Round of 16 on Saturday in Des Moines. Griner began this tournament quietly, playing only 22 minutes in Baylor's first-round rout of U.C. Santa Barbara. She delighted the crowd Tuesday with her dunking display in warmups, at one point throwing down a two-handed effort and pulling herself up toward the rim. When the game started, Griner was called for an early charging foul when she tried to dribble coast to coast after a defensive rebound. She did not attempt a shot until about midway through the half and did not score until a layup with 8:18 remaining. The Gators used a zone defense to deny Griner the ball inside. Although Baylor led, 26-11, at one point, Florida answered with a 9-0 run. Griner then scored 6 quick points for the Lady Bears - two free throws, a putback and a shot from out near the free-throw line. The Gators kept answering for the rest of the half, but that stretch was a sign of things to come for Griner. TECH 76, GEORGETOWN 64 Sydney Wallace continued her scoring tear with 23 points, and Georgia Tech claimed its first berth in the regional semifinals of the women's N.C.A.A. tournament by beating Georgetown in the second round of the Des Moines Region in Chapel Hill, N.C. Sasha Goodlett added 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Yellow Jackets (26-8). Now comes their biggest challenge: A trip to Iowa to face Baylor on Saturday. Sugar Rodgers had 14 points on 4-of-19 shooting from the field for the Hoyas (23-9). TEXAS BEGINS ITS SEARCH Wanted: A Texas basketball coach with the résumé, vigor and skill to return a proud program to national title contender. In other words, everything the Longhorns thought they were getting five years ago in Gail Goestenkors, who resigned Monday, citing fatigue and a desire to get away from basketball. Texas women's athletic director, Chris Plonsky, said she has a short list of potential candidates - she won't say who, but promises, "We are going to find a leader for our players. We love them and they are the heart of the future of our program. Plonsky tried to persuade Goestenkors to stay, but the coach walked away from the $2.5 million left in her seven-year contract after five years of winning seasons but only one victory in the N.C.A.A. tournament. "There's no qualifiers," Plonsky said of the search for a new coach before listing a few broad requirements for the Texas job. You have to be accomplished, you have to be a good person, you've got to have integrity, we're not going to get anybody in here that's cut corners or has a reputation of cutting corners. If a potential candidate is still playing in the N.C.A.A. tournament, Plonsky said she will wait until that candidate's team loses before contacting him or her about the job. Texas still has to be considered one of the top jobs in the country. The university was among the pioneers of top-flight women's college athletics and the basketball program has been the beacon of that legacy. The 1986-87 Longhorns were the first undefeated women's national champion. Texas pays well, sits in the middle of some of the most fertile high school recruiting grounds in the country, and has passionate fans and an administration that supports women's sports. But the new coach will also find a program that hasn't won a Big 12 title or contended for a national championship since 2004. That was the last time Texas advanced to the N.C.A.A. tournament's Round of 16.
