Defending nationwide champions, No. 7 LSU, noticed a 16-game profitable streak go up in smoke on Sunday after a 67-62 loss to unranked Auburn.
Following the sport, Head coach Kim Mulkey supplied a foolish excuse for the beautiful upset.
Talking with reporters, Mulkey insinuated that permitting the staff to help the LSU males’s squad on Saturday evening might have resulted in a scarcity of “vitality and enthusiasm” in opposition to Auburn.
“I will remorse that each one the way in which house. That was out of our routine,” Mulkey mentioned through Tiger Bait.
Whereas clarifying that she did not remorse supporting the lads’s staff, she questioned whether or not it threw her squad off on Sunday.
“We’re creatures of behavior, so, did that disrupt your mindset? I do not know,” Mulkey mentioned. “I do not know that it did or it did not.”
In the end, defensive effort, or the absence of it, was the distinction within the loss, in line with Mulkey. She mentioned Auburn’s effort “was simply higher” than LSU’s, including that they made something the staff tried to do tough.
