TAMPA, Fla. -- The suit was blue, and that wasn't by accident. Baylor coach Kim Mulkey doesn't pick out her own clothes for most games, and definitely not the big ones. Her longtime staff member Jennifer Roberts does, and after all this time, she knows exactly what her boss should wear to dress for success.
Roberts picked a shade of blue with historical overtones for Mulkey's 2019 national championship outfit. It reflected back to Mulkey's roots as a player at Louisiana Tech, but also what she wore for her first of three championships at Baylor.
And such things do matter to Mulkey, whose program joins UConn (11) and Tennessee (eight) as women's teams to win at least three championships in the NCAA era.
