Following the most recent matchup between LSU and South Carolina, things have gotten hotter as we approach the conclusion of the college basketball season. The Gamecocks, led by Dawn Staley, defeated Kim Mulkey’s LSU team. Nevertheless, in its following high-octane contest, LSU made a comeback.
Ole Miss, ranked seventeenth, was defeated by the seventh-ranked LSU, 78–70. Ole Miss came very near to winning in a very fair battle. In the fourth quarter, LSU staged a stunning comeback. Aside from LSU’s remarkable recovery, one significant incident captured the attention of fans.
At the heart of that event was Grace Knox, the star of LSU. She forcefully prevented an Ole Miss player from making a layup. But it was more than that. Additionally, she received a technical foul for what appeared to be an excessive reaction. The way Knox behaved infuriated her online admirers.
“That’s what Kim [Mulkey] out here teaching,” one fan blamed the LSU head coach.
“Exactly!! She went too far, especially on national TV. AFTER she knows she fouled hard,” one fan said.
“Apparently I need to clarify. The foul was fine. Her reaction after and getting T’d up is fine. My issue is how after the fact, when she’s supposed to be huddling with the team, she’s engaging with the crowd. When she goes to the bench instead of getting her head right, she’s STILL yappin at the crowd. A couple plays before this one, she gets a nice block and claps while the ball is still in play. Then Ole Miss got the ball and scored. Intensity is GOOD, being a hothead isn’t,” one fan stated.
“Not to mention, this wasn’t even a clean block. She hacked the mess out of her,” another fan claimed.
“Yea all that after the fact was so unnecessary and to still be saying idgaf on the sideline is just way too much,” another stated.
“She’s learning that attitude from her coach. That’s the problem,” another fan called out Kim Mulkey.
