The LSU women's basketball team was celebrated on Thursday night back at campus after making a run to the Elite Eight . The Tigers fell to No. 1 Iowa in a rematch of last year's championship, which they won. This season, though, certainly had its slings and arrows, causing head coach Kim Mulkey to be 'emotional' during her speech.
'm emotional for a lot of reasons, so you bear with me,' she asked of the crowd in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. 'Look around this building. Look around this building. Wow — that's all I can tell you. This is why I came home. I came home to do good here, not bad,' she said, according to NOLA.com. The beginning of the season was rocky, with star forward Angel Reese absent for four games with what was speculated to be a pseudo-suspension.
The distractions that came from winning that national championship, I don't think I've ever seen in my entire life. The things that have been printed, the lies that have been told — for what reason?' Mulkey said, though she didn't specify what those lies were. 'Most of you don’t know who I am. In my life, that’s where I go, and that’s who I stand for. Most of you feel me right now. Most of you are standing here going, ‘My God, she's been attacked.
