KNOXVILLE, TN (November 15, 2009)--Shekinna Stricklen had 25 points and 14 rebounds, and No. 8 Tennessee beat No. 7 Baylor 74-65 on Sunday in the State Farm Tip-Off Classic.
All the buzz entering the game was about Brittney Griner, the
Lady Bears' celebrated recruit who dunked in an exhibition game.
The 6-foot-8 Griner dunked a few times in warmups and scored 15
points, but never got close enough to the rim for a chance to dunk
during the game.
The Lady Volunteers (1-0) used a combination of post players -
who spent much of the game in foul trouble - to shut down Griner.
Stricklen hit a fast-break layup on a steal and assist from
Kamiko Williams to cap a 14-2 run that gave the Lady Vols a 52-38
lead with 9:49 left. Baylor (0-1) got within nine points several
times.
Melissa Jones led Lady Bears with 21 points.
