WACO, Texas (AP) - Brittney Griner scored right away and top-ranked Baylor was quickly on the way to avenging its last loss, beating No. 15 Texas A&M 71-48 Saturday night in the teams' first meeting since last year's NCAA tournament.
Griner, who had 21 points and 10 rebounds, put the Lady Bears (25-0, 12-0 Big 12) ahead to stay with her inside basket and free throw only 30 seconds in. After Tyra White scored on the first shot by Texas A&M, Baylor scored 14 consecutive points over a four-minute span.
Texas A&M (17-6, 8-4) had lost eight in a row against Baylor, including three last season before that NCAA regional final victory last March. That sent the Aggies to their first Final Four on the way to winning the national championship.
Odyssey Sims had 19 points and Brooklyn Pope had 10 points and nine rebounds for Baylor.
