WACO (AP) -- Kim Mulkey and Baylor might not have to wait another seven years to win another national championship.
The Lady Bears have already gotten some good news looking ahead to Mulkey's 20th season as their head coach, with word Monday night that senior-to-be Lauren Cox won't need surgery after a gruesome-looking left knee injury the 6-foot-4 standout post sustained in the national title game.
They also have those talented youngsters known as the "Fierce Five" -- Baylor's 2018 top-ranked signing class, a group of five five-star recruits who as freshmen were part of a championship season.
