The recent skirmish that occurred between the LSU Tigers and the South Carolina Gamecocks during the SEC championship game has taken a wild turn for the worse. Notably, South Carolina’s Kamilla Cardoso had shoved Flau’jae Jhonson after she tried to stop MiLaysia Fulwiley from stealing her pass. What followed after that was even more disheartening as several players from both teams were declared ejected and so, will not be participating in the 1st round of the NCAA Tournament.
Now that Kim Mulkey is giving her rather stern opinion, she is being scrutinized by the fans with a fine-tooth comb. Let’s dive into the situation.

Just like her team, LSU coach Kim Mulkey is known for her on-the-face thoughts that might cut through like a knife for some people. This bold and unapologetic mindset of hers has proved to be rewarding several times. However, this time it has bounced back to Mulkey as many fans are turning the tables on her.
Simply put, a post containing two videos from 2 of Kim Mulkey’s post-game interviews has been shared on X. The post has been captioned, “Kim Mulkey when her team is the bully vs Kim Mulkey when her team can’t be the bully,” as it is a side-by-side comparison of the two situations. Interestingly, the video has been reposted by a fan who has captioned it, “This is the true 2 faced Kim Mulkey. She might as well said…. “Its ok when we do it. Its not ok when you do it to us!”

Now, some fans went way too extreme in the comments, calling Mulkey and the LSU team with certain unpleasant words.
Classless trash, but we already know that from her outfits.

She’s garbage. Can’t wait until she’s gone and we have @dawnstaley, @karalawson20, @IrishCoachIvey and others getting the attention and airtime they deserve. The future of coaching in women’s college basketball is bright—@KimMulkey is the past.

Giving a comeback to one of Mulkey’s statements about team chemistry in the video, a fan wrote:
Team chemistry? I think of Iowa, Nebraska and Uconn when I think of team chemistry.

While a fan gave a cryptic remark on Angel Reese’s withdrawal from the LSU-SC brawl.
Can we talk about how Angel wanted NONE OF THAT SMOKE? As her teammates were jumping off the bench to go get involved, she limped herself to the FAR end of the bench, as she should have. She’s smarter than her coach. And that’s just sad.
