We're down to eight teams -- approximately 120 players fighting for a championship. The usual names are still in play: UConn, Stanford, Tennessee.

But it's still all about just one woman: Brittney Griner.

Griner made sure of that when she dunked, not once but twice, on the road to the Elite Eight. The 6-foot-8 All-American dunked against Florida and then for good measure she slammed down a two-handed jam against Georgia Tech.

Maybe she got sick of reading about the brooms and kayak paddles and the super-tall male cheerleaders who simulate her while teams prepare to face the biggest game-changer in women's basketball.

Hey, she seemed to be saying, can a kayak paddle do this?
