With a 102-85 win over the Iowa Hawkeyes on Sunday evening, coach Kim Mulkey accomplished in just her second season at LSU what greats like Sue Gunter and Pokey Chatman could not: win a national championship.
Mulkey captured the program’s first, taking the program to new heights following a magical NCAA tournament run as a No. 3 seed. Taking down arguably the nation’s best player in Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes represents the culmination of one of the most impressive turnarounds in recent college basketball memory.
With LSU’s players and coaches celebrating at the top of the mountain, here’s how Twitter reacted to the win.
WHAT YALL DONT TALK ABOUT IS EVERY BODY ON THAT TEAM HAS CONFIDENCE NOT ONE PERSON WAS SCARED TO DO ANYTHING ! WHY BECAUSE KIM MAKES U BELIEVE IN YA SELF WHEN NOBODY DOES 🫵🏾💜💛

Really just unreal how quickly Kim Mulkey lived up to what should have been an impossibly high level of expectation
And they won the natty tonight with ever facet of the TEAM contributing and it’s a team that was basically created from scratch over the offseason
LEGEND

I keep thinking about how @KimMulkey told us to be patient and that it wouldn’t happen overnight.
And then it happened overnight.
She may have told us to wait for it, but she didn’t have the patience to do it herself.
That’s why she’s who she is. Glad she’s a Tiger.

The best player on the floor tonight was neither of the All Americans, Caitlin Clark or Angel Reese, it was LSU’s Alexis Morris who scored 19 points in the second half to help lead LSU to victory. Alexis finished with 21 points and 9 assists!
