NCAA Women's Tournament

Mulkey may be a fabulous coach, but she is on a lower rung as a person, IMHO.

Just read the recent story about her life. Lots of ups and down. However, she's Trumpian in her ability to hold grudges for a long time and her ability to put people down publicly. Mulkey is a diva's diva.

Yeah, she's a little over-the-top for me, but I will always appreciate her comments on the coronavirus testing protocol back in '21.

monday afterthoughts ...

1. iowa/lsu lived up to their billing - caitlin goes for 41 with 12 assists;
2. lsu never gave her much defense until the end - too late, kim;
3. uconn's paige bueckers is really good - deep faith/tim tebow'esque as well;
4. wonder if paige defends caitlin in the f4 - i'm sure the reverse won't happen;
5. juju looked like a usc freshman - i thought trojans didn't like being called "southern cal"?
6. can you guess geno's f4 run - how about 15 of the last 16;
7. this may be his best coaching job - six season-ending injuries on the husky bench;
8. auriemma is wbb equivalent of rockne;
9. uconn in the semis will be better than lsu - huskies are more talented and seasoned than the tigers;
10. iowa/lsu tv rating? 10 million perhaps - for context michigan/uw cfp final drew 25 million, mbb tops was 40 million for 1979 bird/magic, and patrick's last super bowl drew 123 million.

2. lsu never gave her much defense until the end - too late, kim; - putting Johnson on CC was probably the right move, but, as you said, too late.

A few days old, but Whitlock makes some interesting points. I definitely agree with his comments regarding Mulkey vs. Staley.

Whitlock: "Mulkey takes the kind of heat and criticism the secular woke pretends Staley gets. Staley, who dresses like a teenage boy, is worshiped. She manufactures discrimination and victimhood."

I don't understand what the fuss is about. That clearly was an illegal screen. If the call is not made, UCONN has an offensive advantage.

it's about uconn fans, caitlin haters, and talking heads trying to create controversy. that call was so obvious even i could have made it 900-miles away watching from manhattan, ks.
