Sometimes it’s best to strike while the iron is hot.
With the Tiger faithful still basking in the glow of LSU’s first national championship in women’s basketball, Coach Kim Mulkey says an upgrade to the stadium her Tigers call home is long overdue for an upgrade, and the time is now.
“Now’s the time to talk about it,” Mulkey said while speaking to the Baton Rouge Rotary Club. “I’m gonna talk about it publicly now because we’ve got to get the resources and we’ve got to do what we have to do.”
“We don't need to put a coat of paint on it,” she continued. “It’s time to either completely renovate it or build a new one next to it and tear that one down.”
Time will tell whether and how quickly Mulkey’s dream can become a reality, but she’s certainly not resting on her laurels.
With the NCAA tournament’s Most Outstanding Player Angel Reese set to return for her junior season in Baton Rouge and a run at a second straight natty, Mulkey lured one of the nation’s best guards, Louisville’s Hailey Van Lith, to LSU via the transfer portal.
