LSU coach Kim Mulkey’s No. 5 Tigers demolished the Charlotte 49ers 117-59 on Wednesday evening to stay perfect (4-0) for the season. The game was not without controversy after 49ers star Princess Anderson posted a since-deleted clip on TikTok of the team dancing, accompanied by a caption stating that the Tigers were about to play a competitive team for the first time this season.
Fans Have Mixed Reaction to Kim Mulkey’s Charlotte Confession
During her postgame news conference, the charismatic Mulkey revealed that her team took the taunting by Charlotte personally.
“We had too many technicals,” Kim Mulkey said, “but I wanna give you a little background, OK? They took it real personal with all the stuff that was on social media. And I’ll leave it at that. And so, they were fired up.”
“Those kids send the social media stuff to me. I don’t see any of that unless it’s sent to me and it fired them up, and if I was a player I’d be fired up too.”
The game was littered with fouls, with 49 common fouls and five technical fouls called by the officials.
Fans on X had mixed reactions to Mulkey’s confession about the intense nature of the Tigers’ approach against the 49ers.
“Gotta get fired up to beat Charlotte yikes,” one fan tweeted.
“Charlotte can’t defend a fly, they were swiping down on every drive to the basket. Just undisciplined basketball IMO..” another fan tweeted.

Finally, Grace Knox got the last one when she stared down a Charlotte player after blocking her shot in the fourth quarter to end a spicy matchup.
