March 25: Kim Mulkey and the Fighting Tigers

Beat writer Reed Darcey and columnist Scott Rabalais join sports editor Perryn Keys to break down the LSU women's basketball team and its march to the Sweet 16 on a wild, tense and semi-controversial weekend at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. Brought to you by Champion Wealth Strategies. Rab and Reed begin by sharing their 2 cents on where the Tigers stand after a shaky first-round win over Rice and a dominant second half against Middle Tennessee. We then break down what has made Flau'jae Johnson so important lately, and why Angel Reese and Aneesah Morrow could be the two most important players in the Tigers' next game. And yes, we talk Kim Mulkey. Reed shares the story about where he was when Mulkey made her fiery opening statement about a Washington Post story that had not yet dropped. Rab and Perryn then discuss how Mulkey has often been a complicated, controversial character, exacerbated by her willingness to stand her ground. Rab also breaks down the LSU gymnastics team, which won the SEC championship over the weekend and awaits the NCAA regionals in April. Subscribe to our YouTube channel!
