It’s all over for the LSU Tigers once again after they fell to a narrow 72-65 defeat to the UCLA Bruins on March 30, and it seems emotions boiled over as Kim Mulkey lost her cool with the media.
The Tigers are still chasing the high of the 2023 NCAA season when Angel Reese spurred them to the national championship, and will have to regroup and go again next season after their Elite Eight loss at the Spokane Arena.
Kim Mulkey embarrassed by her grandson’s mischievous act during interview
Whilst Aneesah Morrow and Flau’jae Johnson combined for 43 points, 11 rebounds and five assists, their shared talent proved to be unable to stop the Bruins edging them out after a particular dominant second-quarter for UCLA.
No doubt disappointed, the Tigers will look to lick their wounds and recover but it seems as though emotions got the better of some of the team members as an irritated Mulkey snapped back at a journalist.
The reporter subject to her ire was Jayden Smith of KLSU Sports, a student-run radio based at LSU aiming to train the next generation as she seemed to laugh at the youngster’s employer.
“That’s terrible, isn’t it,” Mulkey said after Smith introduced himself and his publication, before pointing out it’s the Tigers second-consecutive Elite Eight exit. “Is that terrible, or is that good? Is it? How many Final Fours you play in?”
Smith then answered zero, to which Mulkey joked, “So it’s probably pretty good, huh? Alright.”
To be fair to the 62-year-old head coach, she did wink at the reporter afterwards suggesting it was all tongue in cheek. For Smith, it was a good training exercise to learn how to approach agitated sportspeople after a loss.
When are the Final Four games?
The Final Four is set as the teams battle it out for a spot in the national championship game in women’s basketball, with four remaining after 68 kicked off March Madness a few weeks ago.
So far, the UCLA Bruins have punched their Final Four ticket and they will be in action on Friday, April 4. Tip-off will either be at 19:00 ET/16:00 PT on ESPN, or 21:30 ET/18:30 PT on the same network.

2025 NFL defensive line rankings ahead of Week 7: Browns continue to lead the way
Steelers defensive line dominates the Browns: The Steelers’ pass-rush trio of Nick Herbig, Alex Highsmith and T.J. Watt overwhelmed the Browns’ offensive line and rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel throughout the game. With Cleveland frequently leaving its tackles on islands, Watt posted his best outing of the season, earning an 87.1 overall grade. Highsmith made a strong return to action with an 84.6, but it was Herbig who stole the show with his 94.8 grade, the highest of any defensive player in the NFL for the week. The Broncos continue to pace the league in total pressures: Nik Bonitto leads the way with 25 pressures and also tops the NFL with eight sacks. Jonathan Cooper and Zach Allen aren’t far behind, with 21 and 20 pressures, respectively. The defensive line is the heart of any successful defense, tasked with both disrupting […]

Energie reaguje na zranění Redlicha, na hostování přichází posila z Kladna
„Kuba je pro trenérský štáb známý hráč. Pavel Patera ho trénoval (v Kladně a Mladé Boleslavi - pozn. aut.) a zapadá mu do systému a do role, pro kterou ho bereme. Jsme rádi, že jsme se domluvili s Kladnem v tomto časovém presu. Při počtu zraněných hráčů, které momentálně máme, to pro nás bylo rychlé a dostupné řešení v rámci hokejového trhu,“ říká sportovní ředitel Karlových Varů Jiří Kalous.Strnad v aktuální sezoně nastoupil za Rytíře k sedmi zápasů a nebodoval. Kladenský odchovanec v nejvyšší soutěži odehrál za Kladno, Spartu, Mladou Boleslav a České Budějovice celkem 373 utkání s bilancí 36 gólů a 38 asistencí.Dres Energie by měl poprvé obléknout už v pátek při domácím střetnutí s posledním Litvínovem.
