Brittney Griner had 18 points, 12 rebounds and eight blocks, and No. 6 Baylor routed Gonzaga 70-49 on Saturday night in the Las Vegas Holiday Classic.
Griner was coming off the first triple-double in school history, when she set a Big 12 record with 11 blocks in a win over Oral Roberts on Wednesday.
Morghan Medlock added 16 points and 11 rebounds for Baylor (10-1), which has won 10 straight after a season-opening loss to Tennessee.
Katelan Redmon scored 13 to lead Gonzaga (9-3).
Gonzaga missed 13 of its first 15 shots as Baylor built a 20-5 lead early in the first half. The Zags cut their deficit to 22-10 on Tiffanie Shives' 3-pointer with 10:54 left, but then went scoreless over the next 5 1/2 minutes as the Lady Bears scored 11 straight points.
Kimetria Hayden's layup off a nifty pass from Griner made it a 23-point lead.
Baylor led 41-24 at the half, shooting 52 percent from the field. Gonzaga cut the deficit to 43-32, but Griner sparked a 10-2 spurt to put the game away.
She also was a force on the defensive end, blocking six shots in the second half.
It was a tough day all-around for Gonzaga basketball _ the men's team lost to Duke by 36 points at Madison Square Garden.
Gonzaga will face Texas A&M and Baylor will play Arizona State on Sunday night to finish off the tournament. The 13th-ranked Aggies beat No. 14 Arizona State 72-62 earlier Saturday.
The game was played in a casino a couple of miles off the Strip. The arena is used mostly for rodeos and the facility brought in a movable floor that is usually used by the West Coast Conference for their postseason tournament and for the NBA summer league.
Gonzaga had played twice before on it, winning both games. Coach Kelly Graves reminded his team of that in shootaround Friday night. His team looked a lot less comfortable Saturday.
