Monday was an emotional night for the No. 1 Lady Bears as the seniors were honored at the end of their last regular season game with a tribute video on senior night. Many fans wore yellow shirts in support of the winningest seniors in school history.

Unfinished business has not been the motto of only the Baylor Lady Bears this season. After losing 76-70 to Texas A&M in the National Championship last year, Notre Dame claims this slogan as well.

Baylor coach Kim Mulkey didn’t like watching a big first-half lead dwindle with star Brittney Griner on the bench. She was even more troubled when the forward’s fourth foul sent her there again in the second half.

The No. 1 Baylor Lady Bears proved that there is more to their team besides a 6-foot-8-inch post as they defeated UCLA 83-50 to advance to the final round of the preseason WNIT.

The fourth time was a charm for No. 2 seed Texas A&M as the No. 1 seed Lady Bears fell to the Aggies 58-46 in the Elite Eight round of the NCAA tournament at American Airlines Center in Dallas Tuesday night in the final matchup between the Big 12’s two best teams.

The No. 1 seed Lady Bears fought off a persistent West Virginia squad Tuesday night, closing out an 82-68 win to advance to Dallas for the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA women’s basketball tournament.

While nobody at the Ferrell Center was surprised on Monday, the Lady Bears’ basketball team still joined those in attendance in a burst of celebration upon seeing Baylor’s No. 1 seed for this year’s NCAA tournament announced on ESPN.

The Lady Bears walked onto the court Wednesday night wearing No. 5 T-shirts in warmups; they walked off with shirts that read, “Big 12 Champions.” Even without senior Melissa Jones on the court, her presence in the Ferrell Center was all Baylor needed as it went on to soundly defeat Missouri, 84-52.

The Lady Bears showed why they sit at No. 1 in the country Sunday afternoon, overcoming a No. 5/6 Texas A&M squad 63-60 in front of a record Reed Arena crowd who could not have asked for much more from two of the country’s best teams.
