Parker and Tennessee Slam Army

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) -- Candace Parker is a redshirt freshman for Tennessee who can play every position and distribute the ball as easily as she scores. Oh yeah, she dunks, too.

The 6-foot-4 Parker became the first woman to dunk in an NCAA tournament game Sunday, jamming one-handed on a breakaway just 6:12 into the second-seeded Lady Vols' 102-54 victory against an Army team that was making its NCAA tournament debut.

Then, for good measure, Parker ensured her place in basketball lore by becoming the first to do it twice in a college game with another one-hander on the baseline.

1. See - women can dunk.

Men who think women's basketball is boring have to idea how the game is supposed to be played. Women's basketball is much more true to the game.

And, it's much more impressive for a 5'9" woman to dunk than a 6'11" man.
