WACO, Texas (AP) — Brittney Griner and Jordan Barncastle haven’t spoken to each other or had any direct contact since the punch. They won’t be able to avoid each other Saturday night.
No. 1 Baylor is hosting Texas Tech in the first meeting between the teams since a confrontation last March that left Barncastle with a broken nose and Griner suspended for two games.
Griner says the incident is “all behind us.”
Texas Tech coach Kristy Curry says the focus is on this game and not what happened in the past.
Baylor (17-1, 4-0 Big 12) has won 14 games in a row overall. The Lady Raiders (16-2, 3-1) are coming off a loss at No. 14 Oklahoma that snapped their second eight-game winning streak of the season.
