If you wanted grace, efficiency, well-run offensive sets, and high-scoring games, you picked the wrong night to watch tournament basketball.

If you wanted suspense and surprises, on the other hand, last night had 'em. First, the less remarkable of the two games:

Duke led for most of the game, but the Blue Devils' poor outside shooting, and worse shot selection, spelled doom in the end: Krystal Thomas fouled out, and Griner wheeled past her interior replacements to lay in the winning field goal.

The pre-Final Four publicity is going to gather and gather around Griner: without her unusual skill set, the Bears would be an entirely different team.

But coach Mulkey's young guards deserve some credit, too: their aggression got them in foul trouble, but no one on the Baylor side fouled out, and their defense prevented the Dukies from finding good looks.

On the other hand, Duke had more rebounds, and more steals, and came within one possession of a W even though they shot twenty-three percent from the floor. Baylor looked a lot better against Tennessee than they did last night: it's easy to see how the young Bears might be very vulnerable to a running team, one that can get down the floor in advance of Griner, or just make a few outside shots.
