Why?I hope i never see a UConn women's basketball player dunk.
It's not lady-like.Why?
I agree, kind of cool in a way to do it for her family and friends.I think Stewie should dunk for the Colgate fans tonight if she gets the chance. It would not be an in-your-face moment at all. Just a thanks for coming out and I saved my first college dunk for you moment. I would love to see it.
That's just silly.I hope i never see a UConn women's basketball player dunk.
Not true. The dunk is a very high (the highest) percentage shot. But yes in addition it can be intimidating (and who doesn't want that?) and a real boost to one's team.The point of dunking in the men's games has been to show off and one up the opponent.

Holy Moly!! Sportmanship---un Sportsmanship preforming the same manuever, how can that be?? In college, supposedly equal competitors--in WNBA/Pro equals--I agree. In the men's game it is sometimes required to ensure that the basket is scored. I like BG's dunks in the pros because everyone is a professional, but in retrospect her dunks in college were poor sportsmanship.

. If it is allowed in WCBB, it is sportsmanlike.
However I wasn't fond of Griner in College--I have a multitude of reasons, most are without merit. Yet, I believe if anything is allowed by the rules--USE it.
We know that in college all competitors are not equal. Dunking on a team of players at a much lower level of talent is not good sportsmanship IMO. A dunk in a game against another top 10 team, that is a different story because the talent level IS much closer.
I agree, and don't think it's silly at all. Not dunking itself, but the premium placed on dunking has been one of several factors that IMHO have contributed to the unwatchability of the men's game compared to the women's. And if it's not an 'in your face" statement -- and I agree that it wouldn't be, what's the point, unless this is an exhibition game? And never mind the possibility that she misses the dunk, which has been known to happen. I've seen the videos of her doing it in practice -- not an especially pretty sight.I hope i never see a UConn women's basketball player dunk.
ROFL!It's not lady-like.
I'm with "use guys"!!!I agree, kind of cool in a way to do it for her family and friends.
Same reason they don't show tattoos and don't have their names on their shirts.Why?
Wolves (or Huskies in this case) should not concern themselves with the opinions of sheep.Bad idea. The UConn haters would pile on yelping about a low class move against an overwhelmed opponent.
Oh wait. I didn't read very closely.Stewie dunks for Colgate
