Whereas the Lady Bears' 2011-2012 season marked only the 7th undefeated season 
        in the history of Division I women's college basketball;
Whereas Coach Kim Mulkey is the only woman in women's basketball history to have 
        played on and coached a national championship team;
Whereas Coach Mulkey brought the Lady Bears its 2d national championship since 
        2005, with a starting lineup that included Brittney Griner, Destiny 
        Williams, Odyssey Sims, Kimetria Hayden, and Jordan Madden;
Whereas All-American junior Brittney Griner led the Lady Bears to victory with 
        26 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 blocks in a dominating performance over 
        the University of Notre Dame and finished the 2011-2012 season with more 
        than 920 points;
Whereas the members of the Lady Bears basketball team should all be commended 
        for their teamwork, dedication, and athletic prowess;
Whereas Baylor University as 2011-2012 women's basketball national champions, 
        has continued to demonstrate excellence in both athletics and academics;
Whereas the Lady Bears basketball team has significantly advanced the sport of 
        women's basketball by demonstrating character and sportsmanship;
Whereas the Lady Bears overcame significant adversity and competition by defying 
        expectations to finish the season with a dominating performance in the 
        final title game and a perfect undefeated record of 40-0;

        strength and will of women across the State of Texas; and
Whereas the Lady Bears basketball team is the pride of its loyal fans, current 
        and former students, and the Lone Star State: Now, therefore, be it

University on winning the 2012 National Collegiate Athletic Association 
Division I Women's Basketball Championship and completing the 2011-2012
