The Baylor basketball teams, fresh off a women's national championship and a men's Elite Eight appearance, might be dancing to a different tune soon. Here's a look at the women involved, including coach Kim Mulkey and star Brittney Griner.
Just minutes after the Baylor Lady Bears cut down the 2012 NCAA women's basketball championship nets, the talk was already swirling - yet again - about the potential of Baylor's phenomenal center Brittney Griner leaving college early and heading for the professional ranks. "No she's not going anywhere. I don't know what part of that y'all don't understand," coach Kim Mulkey started.
"Well, you know at Baylor, they used to not let the Baptists dance," Baylor Lady Bears coach Kim Mulkey said after their win in the 2012 NCAA women's basketball national championship game. "I bet they're dancing now!"
Stanford and Nnemkadi Ogwumike came up short against Brittney Griner and Baylor in the 2012 NCAA Women's Tournament Final Four.
Brittney Griner and Kim Mulkey earn top accolades for leading the Baylor Lady Bears to an undefeated season thus far.
The Baylor Bears haven't won a ring, not yet at least. But they did add some hardware to the trophy case in last night's 80-59 beat down of Texas in Waco, the Big 12 regular season title. But head coach Kim Mulkey isn't finished with her plan to hoist awards and cut down nets - for her, "It's about the ring".
Back in 1983, the NCAA tournament only consisted of 36 teams - March Madness wasn't quite as mad yet. After a couple of weeks of attrition the field of 36 was whittled down to two survivors - the Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters and the University of Southern California Trojan Women.
