Jackson Wins

On a side note, it was rather disappointing to hear this week that Baylor's freshman phenom, Brittney Griner over reacted to some very rough post play by throwing a punch and breaking the nose of an opposing player.

Griner has been played very physical all season long without losing her cool, but her temper broke free after being thrown in a tie up. She has been suspended for the last game of the season by the NCAA and her coach suspended her from the first game of tournament play. That could mean the end of Baylor's season. Hopefully she learns the right lesson from the experience and matures over her next three years of college play. Her skills, size and athleticism will mean a lot to the game but should not come at the cost of the other values of the game.
