However, drama unfolded in the final moments of the match as LSU’s boss Kim Mulkey’s antics attracted attention. The Lady Tigers head coach had to face disciplinary action following her overwhelming aggression on the court. Apparently, she was ejected by the officials with just 5 minutes left to the final buzzer.

Kim Mulkey loses her cool

With just under 5 minutes to go into the game, a counter attack from LSU resulted in Aneesah Morrow capitalising it to score a point. Following this, the officials blew his whistle and termed it as an offensive foul. Consequently, this call made Mulkey furious and she charged towards the official explicitly showing her disappointment. Moreover, she marched towards the court before Mikaylah Williams came in the way and stopped her. Soon after, Angel Reese stepped in and tried to calm her nerves. The All-American forward held her back to get the situation under control.

Mulkey just flew off the bench and was enraged with the decision. The Pete Maravich Assembly Center saw her passion for the game get the better off her as she continued shouting at the officials. Nonetheless, Reese did manage to dial down her anger soon enough. Unfortunately, she was seen leaving the Arena before the final buzzer.

Amidst all the on-court drama, the Lady Tigers took full advantage of their home conditions and secured a commanding win over the the Northwestern State Demons. Evidently, the 2023 NCAA champions have a staggering 100% record at home and are 8-0  in the competition so far. As a result, they are only second to South Carolina in the Southeastern Conference. With 2 out of their next 3 games at home, LSU will look forward to making the most out of it.

Kim Mulkey has shown in the past as well how much every game means to her. However, she might want to be a little more careful before lashing it out on an official in the future. In spite of everything, there is no denying that she is passionate about the sport and wants to lead her team in the best possible way.
