WHEREAS, The Baylor University Lady Bears basketball team and |
|
|
Coach Kim Mulkey reached the pinnacle of success by winning the NCAA |
|
|
Division I national championship on April 3, 2012; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In a dominating performance in the title game, |
|
|
Brittney Griner scored 26 points, grabbed 13 rebounds, and blocked |
|
|
5 shots to lead Baylor to an 80-61 victory over Notre Dame; the |
|
|
championship triumph brought the team's record to a perfect 40-0, |
|
|
which set a new NCAA milestone for the most wins in a single season; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, All year long, the Lady Bears were simply |
|
|
unstoppable; among the highlights was a 23-point blowout over |
|
|
defending national champion Texas A&M to win the Big 12 tournament, |
|
|
and Baylor went on to overwhelm every team it faced as it advanced |
|
|
toward the NCAA final, winning each game by 12 points or more; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The 2012 title marked yet another major achievement |
|
|
for Coach Mulkey, who arrived at Baylor in 2000 to take over a |
|
|
program that had finished last in the conference the previous year; |
|
|
her impact was immediate, and in her debut season she guided the |
|
|
Lady Bears to their initial NCAA tournament appearance; four years |
|
|
later, she succeeded in her quest to make her team the best in the |
|
|
nation, as Baylor claimed its first NCAA championship; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, With a combination of skilled coaching and |
|
|
superlative performances on the hardwood, the Lady Bears have |
|
|
joined the list of elite teams that have earned multiple national |
|
|
titles, and their accomplishment is a source of pride to the |
|
|
university and its many supporters across the Lone Star State; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Baylor University Lady Bears |
|
|
basketball team on winning the 2012 NCAA Division I national |
|
|
championship and extend to Coach Kim Mulkey and the team's players, |
|
|
assistant coaches, and staff sincere best wishes for continued |
|
|
success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the team as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
