By: Sanford | H.R. No. 630 |
|
||
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. |
