Brittney Griner Closes Baylor Career with Back-To-Back Naismith Trophy Awards Brittney Griner Closes Baylor Career with Back-to-Back Naismith Trophy Awards Senior becomes seventh repeat winner of women’s Naismith Trophy presented by AT&T ATLANTA (April 8, 2013) – Baylor senior Brittney Griner ends her college career and two of the most memorable individual campaigns with her second consecutive Naismith Trophy for Women’s College Player of the Year presented by AT&T, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced tonight. The announcement was made today at the WBCA Awards Program in New Orleans, La. Griner won the 2013 Naismith Trophy from among a field of finalists that included Delaware senior Elena Delle Donne, Notre Dame senior Skylar Diggins and Stanford junior Chiney Ogwumike. All three finalists were Naismith Trophy winners in high school. “Brittney Griner is a special player at both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor, and her contributions to the game will be felt for a very long time,” said Eric Oberman, Executive Director of the Atlanta Tipoff Club. “We congratulate Brittney for not only winning the Naismith Trophy, but also joining some rather prestigious company as a dual winner.” Griner was chosen by the Atlanta Tipoff Club’s national voting academy. Selections were based on individual performances throughout the 2013 women’s college basketball season, and the fan vote, which accounted for 25 percent of this year’s total. This is the ninth year fans played a role in the selection process. The vote was tabulated and certified by the accounting firm of Habif, Arogeti& Wynne, LLP. HA&W is the largest independent accounting firm in Georgia and one of the top 50 firms in the United States. “Congratulations to Brittney Griner on earning her second player of the year title,” said David Christopher, chief marketing officer, AT&T Mobility. “Brittney is a strong competitor, consistent leader and clearly a favorite of the fans and the academy. We are proud to once again present her with the Naismith Trophy for yet another extraordinary performance.” During Griner’s final two seasons, she led the Baylor women’s hoops team to a record of 74-2, including an unprecedented 40-0 record and the NCAA® Division I Women’s Basketball Championship in 2012. This season, Griner led the team in scoring in 26 out of 36 games, scored 14 or more points in every regular season and postseason game 20 or more points in 24 games and 30 or more in 10 games. She holds the NCAA career record for dunks during women’s competition ( 17) and is the first NCAA player to total 2,000 points and 500 blocked shots. During her career, she amassed 3,269 points and 746 blocks (NCAA men’s and women’s records). The 6-foot-8-inch senior leaves NCAA women’s play as the second all-time leading scorer in Division I women’s basketball history and three-time recipient of the Big 12 Player of the Year and four-time recipient of the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year. “I am so proud of all Brittney has accomplished during her career at Baylor, said Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey. “She joins some very elite company in winning this prestigious award, and now she has two to her credit. Brittney is truly deserving of the honor and we thank everyone for recognizing this special talent.” Notable Naismith Women’s College Player of the Year winners include Chamique Holdsclaw, Lisa Leslie, Rebecca Lobo and Tina Charles.

  • Mega Conferences
    Non-revenue sports Football, of course, provides the impetus for any conference realignment. In men's basketball, coaches will lose the built-in recruiting tool of playing near home during conference play and then at Madison Square Garden for the Big East Tournament. But what about the rest of the sports? Here's a look at the potential Missouri Pittsburgh Syracuse Nebraska Ohio State Northwestern Minnesota Michigan St. Wisconsin Purdue State Penn Michigan Iowa Indiana Illinois future of the non-revenue sports at Rutgers if it joins the Big Ten: BASEBALL Now: Under longtime head coach Fred Hill Sr., the Scarlet Knights made the Rutgers NCAA Tournament four times last decade. The Big East Conference’s national clout was hurt by the defection of Miami in 2004. The last conference team to make the College World Series was Louisville in 2007. After: Rutgers could emerge as the class of the conference. You find the best baseball either down South or out West. The power conferences are the ACC, Pac-10 and SEC. A Big Ten team has not made the CWS since Michigan in 1984. MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY Now: At the Big East championships in October, Rutgers finished 12th out of 14 teams. Syracuse won the Big East title and finished 14th at nationals. Four other Big East schools made the Top 25. After: The conferences are similar. Wisconsin won the conference title and took seventh at nationals. Two other schools made the Top 25. MEN’S GOLF Now: The Scarlet Knights have made the NCAA Tournament twice since 1983.

  • Baylor's Brittney Griner Headlines 2012-13 Preseason 'Wade Watch' List
    Baylor's Brittney Griner headlines 2012-13 preseason 'Wade Watch' list ATLANTA (September 18, 2012) - Baylor center Brittney Griner, the 2012 State Farm® Wade Trophy winner, headlines the 2012-13 preseason "Wade Watch" list of candidates for the prestigious award, the Women's Basketball Coaches Association announced today. Connecticut leads all schools with three players on the 25-member preseason list. Five schools - defending national champion Baylor, Duke, Kansas, Nebraska and Penn State - are represented by two players each. Now in its 36th year, the State Farm Wade Trophy is named in honor of the late, legendary three-time national champion Delta State University coach, Lily Margaret Wade. Regarded as "The Heisman of Women's Basketball," the award is presented annually to the NCAA® Division I Player of the Year by the National Association of Girls and Women in Sport (NAGWS) and the WBCA. The preseason list is composed of top NCAA Division I women's basketball players who best embody Wade's spirit from 18 institutions and eight conferences. A committee of coaches, administrators and media from across the United States compiled the list using the following criteria: game and season statistics, leadership, character, effect on their team and overall playing ability. Notre Dame's Skylar Diggins, Delaware's Elena Della Donne and Georgetown's Sugar Rodgers join Griner on the preseason list for the third straight year. Alex Bentley of Penn State, Carolyn Davis of Kansas, Stefanie Dolson and Bria Hartley of Connecticut, Chiney Ogwumike of Stanford and Odyssey Sims of Baylor are making their second appearance on the list.
