Thank you. That’s all I was trying to point out. And I happen to agree with you.

Reading comprehension is key. If you are still lost, I can’t help you. As a friend of mine once told me, stop arguing basketball (or in this instance, its customs) with people who were picked last in PE…

Standing is not the issue. Mulkey, for anyone who knows anything about her, would never allow kneeling. I would think anyone with any connection to Baylor would know that. The issue is the practice across college basketball, men’s and women’s, of being in the locker room going over game plans, praying (for LSU at least), etc., when the anthem is played. Just like apparently Iowa was as well last year when they played. The issue is clickbait articles talking about a team “walking off the floor” during the anthem (while attaching a video showing nothing of the sort because that was a bold faced lie) and dolts being gullible enough to fall for a headline and share it across social media until it becomes “fact.” The issue is calling maybe the most politically conservative coach in the sport “woke” because again, well clicks. But such is the “low information” society we live in I guess. And for the record LRF, I would prefer the teams being out there standing when the anthem and school songs are played, just like in football, baseball, etc. I’m guessing that will become the norm now and that should have been the story, not the deceiving one that has been circulated. So perhaps some good will come of it. I’m not even an LSU fan and am glad we get to see another game or two of Clark. But if anyone did an ounce of research before posting this trash, they could indict almost every (if not literally every) D1 CBB coach in the country.

You must be right. I just wish Karma (and Governor Landry) didn’t hate God so much 🥲

That and they probably have the baddest women’s player on the planet!

Well if you are going to be wrong about what happened by falling for clickbait articles’ titles attaching a video proving exactly the opposite, at least be wrong with the holder of the high office of the state where the university is located (can’t imagine a politician jumping in trying to get some political gain - weird!) Again, in the games I’ve attended (SLC, Big 12, SEC, WAC, ACC, Conference USA, AAC), very rarely is EITHER team on the floor for the anthem. It’s just the norm in college basketball. Not saying it’s right and I’m sure it will be changing. But to make it an LSU and Mulkey thing is just uninformed, “low information” arguments.

I’m certain Mulkey would agree with you. And I agree 100 percent about Clark. She is something else. I never thought I would see the day I would rather watch the women’s tournament than the men’s, yet here we are.

We fall for the media’s bs on both sides over and over again. Like Bart Simpson touching the stove. Anyone remember this narrative? Tough to have it both ways… [Hidden Content]

The irony is Mulkey was the only major sport coach at Baylor who refused to let her players participate in BLM protests and has an American Flag suit in her repertoire…

They didn’t walk off. They were in the locker room when the anthem was played. Like both teams usually are in probably 99 percent of the 200 or so college basketball games I’ve attended. I get the criticism and don’t fault you for it. But it’s a college basketball issue, men’s and women’s, not an LSU issue. I would be surprised if Iowa is always out there as well. Coaches use the time when they play the anthem and school songs to do last minute prep. Unlike football when the teams are already out there when it’s played.

Unbelievable Cougar High advanced. I’ll say it, if Wade Taylor had even been “okay”, they win that game comfortably. He was selling from beginning to end and was just god awful. Tough to beat a one-seed when your best player is playing like it’s the 15th run of an open gym but the Ags almost did just that. They were the better team last night imo.

Barnes looks like Grisham and Terry looks like Gus Fring from Breaking Bad. Or at least some think so (including me 😉 )

John Grisham > Gus Fring

I have no reservation saying BTHO Cougar High! (Ok, that was a bit of a lie and I may or may not have thrown up in my mouth a little bit but I am definitely Team Aggy/Buzz/Hef tonight 👍)

This was the weakest I’ve seen the Southland conference in many years. But I thought McNeese may have been good enough to compete and get a tourney win because they were that much better than the rest of the league. Apparently not. Getting run out of the gym. I did tell someone they wouldn’t been a solid double digit dog against that ACU team that beat Texas a few years ago in the first round. That team was significantly better than McNeese, but so was the league then when you had Sam Houston, SFA, etc.

Samford will be tough in the second round 😉

Ahhh makes sense. I was just looking at the WNIT field and they have some stinkers in that one. Didn’t realize NCAA owns the men’s but not the women’s NIT

So not even an NIT bid? They did change the rule this year. Last year it would have been an automatic NIT bid as regular season champions.

I honestly hope he does. I’ve always been a Buzz fan and there’s no secret he’s given this kid the keys from the beginning.

I wonder if this will help keep Wade Taylor? Rumor has it he was a lock to enter the portal after the season. He was already about to get paid. This will drive that number up. Cougar High is allegedly a front runner for his services.

They were rated like 21 last week, in the mid major poll. Their name got tossed in the recycle bin as the buzzer sounded. Might help them hang on to Aqua for another season though.

Slacker

Gave him an extension worth 3 times what the next highest paid coach makes (Brooks) and won’t have to pay a nickel of it and will pocket over a cool mil. They need to throw the AD Schroyer a stack of those flags (chips) from the Nugget.

Agreed. And same here. Having this same discussion today. They deserve to be in regardless. But this conference is pretty low on the national scale and getting two teams in would be unheard of. Will Wade factor would help obviously.

Rumor has it that 1.2 million buyout won’t make it to the summer. He will be joining his former conference allegedly.
