Even without raising a conference trophy or celebrating another title after their regular-season finale Saturday against West Virginia, the Bears can clinch their 23rd consecutive season winning at least 20 games before the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments.
There will be no Big 12 regular-season title for the Baylor women for the first time in 13 seasons, and the Bears won't get to open the NCAA Tournament on their home court as had pretty much become a given over the past decade.
After having three players selected in the WNBA draft last year, including two-time Big 12 player of the year NaLyssa Smith and Queen Egbo in the first 10 picks, the Bears went into this season with eight newcomers. Some of them are big pieces that haven't been able to play. "We’re not talented enough to not show up and give everything we’ve got, and to be on task, and know our assignments and execute,” Collen said. “We can’t just show up, and just be more talented and be deeper, and be all these things. But I think we’re talented enough to beat anyone.”
Collen was head coach of the WNBA's Atlanta Dream before she was hired by Baylor after Mulkey returned to her home state to become coach at LSU, now the third-ranked team and with its only loss coming against No. 1 South Carolina. The Bears won all three of their national championships in Mulkey's 21 seasons.
