Sportsmanship died years ago, today having swag and running up scores is considered cool.

Why would she? Her team has work to do to improve and get where we want to be in March.

Sucks for McNeese, but that’s the way it is.

I agree with calling off the dogs....that kinda win serves nothing in my opinion except to humiliate the other team

What would you tell her to tell the players on the floor?

What did she prove? It means nothing to beat McNeese 90 points. Come on Mulkey; have some sportsmanship. Now, I will get ready for mostly criticism and downvotes for this post which demonstrates the world we live in.


She played everybody. I have no problem with the substitutions.

The issue should be scheduling. Should she have scheduled tougher teams?

McNeese is a D1 school. They should be better.

She played a lot of her bench players much earlier than usual. Those players need to play with the same intensity as the starters. They can’t be ready to step in, at a moments notice, if they don’t play the game the way it’s suppose to be played.

Baylor beat McNeese 124-44 and Kansas St beat them 101-39 so don't get mad at Mulkey when this is a theme of how bad this team against elite opponents.



McNeese beat Ecclesia 102-28 so looks like they didn't call of dogs.

Oklahoma and Nebraska football of the '70s and '80s would like to have a word. So would the Run and Gun Houston Cougars football teams of the late '80s and early '90s. Loyola Marymount men's basketball of the early '90s in line to speak with you also.

Full of sportsmanship, all of them.

The Wade cuck boys don’t even want the LSU women’s team to beat up on their new favorite basketball school. GFYS.

Bartlett, Velez, and Kent didn't play against VT and combined for 52 minutes against McNeese. Not one of our players played 30 minutes. How did we not "call the dogs off?"

You likely posted and ran, but I would really be interested in exactly how you would have played this differently. Rather than make these general statements, explain what you would have done to keep the score down.

Tell the players to intentionally miss shots?

Maybe she should have gone to the other bench and started coaching the players left who didn't foul out.

I didn’t know that she emptied the bench when I made my post. I don’t like running up squirrel on somebody especially when it’s a smaller school like that but again, I didn’t know she had cleared the bench.

Nobody in sports wants to be patronized. If I don’t want to be blown the f**k out I need to be better. I’d rather lose 50-0 than have my opponent take a knee on the 1 with 5 min left in the game.

Have #176 because clearly you don't know how this works.

she did..she only has 10 players so there is not much of a bench to empty. But she did for the whole 4th quarter. LSU girls were just that much more superior than those from McNeese
