Kim Mulkey encourages the men’s division of the LSU Tigers

The LSU Women’s Basketball recently shared a post on their Twitter account. In the video, Tigers’ head coach is seen motivating the men’s division of the franchise. She says,” We don’t build this program that quickly without great players first, without good coaches, and without you dream teamers.” Despite an impressive 12-1 start to the season, the Tigers finished with 13–18, 2–16 in SEC play. As a result, they found themselves at the bottom.

The men’s team desperately needs a push to start their 2023-24 campaign. And who better than Kim Mulkey to bring them back to their best? Mulkey further added,” Well, you have to change your mindset. I’ve been fighting for y’all to get national. These things, show them Angel, championship rings.” She pointed towards the championship ring on her finger. Pointing towards the team she said, “And you’re gonna get them.” Her powerful words were greeted with a huge cheer from the players present from both divisions. The LSU Tigers will kick-start their season against the MS Valley on Nov 7.
