Baylor Hosting Championship Celebration For Women's Hoops Team

Baylor Univ. this afternoon will host a celebration at Ferrell Center to welcome home its undefeated women's basketball national championship team, which defeated Notre Dame 80-61 in last night's title game. Doors open at 3:00pm CT, and the event begins at 3:30. The event will include video highlights of Baylor's run to the 2012 NCAA Women's Basketball Championship and speeches from players and head coach Kim Mulkey (Baylor Univ.).

A sellout crowd of 19,028 attended last night's championship game at Denver's Pepsi Center. The crowd was "filled with Baylor notables," including country singer Trace Adkins and NFL Draft prospect QB Robert Griffin III, who "threw an 'RGIII' T-shirt into the crowd at halftime." Griffin and Baylor President Ken Starr each "cut down part of the net" (SI.com, 4/4).
