WACO, Texas - Interest in Baylor women's basketball continues to skyrocket, evidenced by the fact that more Lady Bear season tickets have been sold than ever before. For the second time in school history season tickets have surpassed the 3,000 mark.

"I am extremely pleased with the response we have received from the public for Lady Bear season tickets," said head coach Kim Mulkey-Robertson. "We have a loyal fan base and are excited that attendance grows each season. We continue to work hard to elevate our program in all areas, not only with the product we put on the floor but with our attendance as well."

With the Flex Pack, individuals receive 25 game coupons good for any men's or women's home game and can be redeemed in any quantity (based on ticket availability).
