CHALKED UP ANOTHER 20-WIN SEASON... After posting 20-win seasons in each of her first five seasons, Kim Mulkey-Robertson and the Lady Bears made it six straight as they pushed their season record to 20-5 with an 86-40 triumph over Colorado. Prior to Mulkey-Robertson s arrival, the program had posted six 20-plus win seasons in 26 years and five of those were during pre-ncaa competition when there were no game limits. Since the NCAA began sponsoring women s basketball in the 1981-82 season Baylor had posted only one 20-win season (1997-98, 20-11) prior to Mulkey-Robertson assuming the reins of the Lady Bear program. At 25-6, Baylor enjoys its third-best record after 31 games in Mulkey-Robertson s tenure behind a 28-3 mark a year ago and a 26-5 record in 2001-02. BU has posted 25 or more wins for the third straight year and fourth time in the last six years. THE COACHES... Baylor coach Kim Mulkey-Robertson is in her sixth season and owns a 156-44 head coaching record which equates to a.780 winning percentage. She has produced 20-win seasons in each of her six years as a head coach averaging 26 wins per year, and has taken the Lady Bears to postseason competition every year, five times to the NCAA Tournament and to the 2003 WNIT finals. In 2005, the Lady Bears claimed Baylor s and the Big 12 s first NCAA basketball championship. Mulkey-Robertson is 10-3 in NCAA Tournament games, 4-1 in first round games, 2-1 in second round games, 1-1 in the Sweet 16, 1-0 in the Elite Eight, 1-0 in the semifinals and 1-0 in championship games.
