LSU women’s basketball, behind Kim Mulkey, were upset by the Kentucky Wildcats 78-63.

The Tigers came into the quarterfinals as the No. 2 seed against the Wildcats No. 7 seed.

Some fans were confused how LSU was upset by a Kentucky team that the Tigers had already beat once this season.

But, other fans were quick to point out a statement Mulkey made after facing the Tennessee Vols on Sunday, February 27.

“I’m not a big proponent of conference tournaments, unless you need them to get in the NCAA Tournament,” Mulkey said. “Because I don’t feel like conference tournaments do anything for those who have already validated where they should be seeded in the (NCAA) tournament based upon the regular season. The regular season means more to me than any conference tournament.”

The Tigers are ranked No. 6 by the USA Today Coaches Poll, guaranteeing them a spot in the NCAA tournament.
