[autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] is a legend in the state of Louisiana, but not just for bringing LSU’s women’s basketball program its first national title as a head coach.
She was also a star player during her college days at Louisiana Tech. Mulkey, an All-American point guard, led the Lady Techsters to two national titles — one in the AIAW in 1981 as well as the inaugural NCAA title in 1982.
She was later a long-time assistant with the program, serving on the staff in some capacity from 1985-00.
Mulkey was honored by her alma mater on Wednesday night as one of six accomplished alumni to receive a statue in the Sarah and AL Williams Championship Plaza. Mulkey is joined by Terry Bradshaw, Fred Dean, Karl Malone, Willie Roaf and Teresa Weatherspoon.

Since leaving Ruston, Mulkey has become a four-time title-winning head coach, earning three during a 22-year stint at Baylor and her most recent this past season during her second campaign with the Tigers.
