LSU women's basketball coach Kim Mulkey was her usual fiery self during her eight losses to Elite 8 losses on Sunday, but it seemed to be trying to get a little lighter during her interactions with one reporter after the game.
Markie spoke with reporters at a post-match press conference after LSU lost to top-seeded UCLA 72-65.
The reporter in question was Jayden Smith of KLSU Sports, a radio station run by school students.
“That's terrible,” Markey said before Smith pushed his question forward.
“Is that terrible or is that okay?” Markey then asked after Smith laughed.
“That's terrible,” replied Smith.
“Is that? What are the number of Final Fours you play?” Markie then retorted.
Smith replied that he hadn't played anything.
“So, it's probably pretty good, right?” Markie then said.
Markie has become known for her brief responses and exchanges with the media, but this could have been a bit more cheeky tongue.
Before Smith continues his questions about comparing the two seasons, the clips shared on social media are cut before Markey sees Winking (probably in the direction of a reporter).
