Coach Kim Mulkey holds back tears of joy as she opens up about what LSU's national title means to her.

I love her response on letting the girls be who they are and not trying to change them. Embracing them…and that’s why those young ladies wouldn’t allow her to lose:

" they just are BALLERS " 😭😭I LOVE THIS LADY

Coach Mulkey knows how to let the players be themselves and coach their strengths and weaknesses! This is incredible! Tiger Nation stand up!

THAT GIRL and stylish while being her! Came back and turned the team around in the shortest amount of time and lead them to be champs. Give Kim her flowers now!!!!

She had me at “IT’S PALM SUNDAY”. God’s work. Stay Blessed Coach 🙏🏼

As a former Division 1 player…This women’s March Madness has been the most excited that I can remember. If you have a child that has goals to play college basketball this is what a great example looks like. Congratulations to the LSU women’s team

That's a coach! I love the fire and emotion she shows on the sideline. She's awesome!

This game probably did more to put Women's B-ball on the map than anything since Pat Summit and Geno were battling. Love them or hate them, these LSU girls have big, brash personalities that get eyeballs. Add in Caitlin Clark and you just made thousands if not millions of new fans of the sport today.

SHE DID WHAT SHE SAID SHE WAS GONNA DO !!

The South Carolina Iowa game tape gave her all the knowledge she needed. Iowa did not even guard for the outside shot and instead concentrated on the interior. LSU shot the lights out from the arc and LSU had to come out and guard against it stretching their defense out. LSU said they were going to expose Iowa and they did just that.

The popovich or Phil Jackson of women’s basketball! Stamped and approved. They literally put women’s basketball on the map with this game 🔥

I was rooting for Dawn Staley and her extraordinarily resilient team, but I am so happy for Coach Mulkey and "The LSU Tigers" because they earned this honor out right. Outstanding job Coach!

[eugenekim]

This is something that everyone will never forget about. What a moment ! You couldn’t write a better script than this

[Wattdwg]

Something about a powerful woman with great leadership skills love it.

[TeamRedWolf]

I must say women's basketball has a bright future so much talent both teams congrats LSU 🐯
