LSU women’s baskatball head coach Kim Mulkey gives her starting lineup affirmations during LSU’s 36-95 win against Northwestern State on Nov 8, 2024, in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge, La.

LSU women’s basketball is set to host first- and second-rounds of the NCAA Tournament in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, and head coach Kim Mulkey bought every LSU student ticket to ensure a packed crowd.

In a statement released on X, Mulkey highlighted the women’s basketball team’s success in the last four years and how they rely on loud, sold-out crowds to bring the energy. After leading her team to hosting in the NCAA Tournament every year that she’s been the head coach, Mulkey decided to give back to the students.

“Your energy in the PMAC has been unmatched all season long and we need you to be our 6th Man during these playoff games,” Mulkey said in an LSU women’s basketball post on X. “I am pleased to be able to purchase the student tickets for these games in the PMAC. All we need is for you to show up, be loud and help propel us to victory!”

The Tigers head into the tournament with a 28-5 overall record and a No. 3 seed, which is a seeding that Mulkey said has treated them well in past tournaments.

LSU will kick off its NCAA Tournament run on Saturday with a 9:15 p.m. start time against No. 14 seed San Diego State University. Whichever team wins will advance to the second round against the winner of No. 6 seed Florida State University versus No. 11 seed George Mason University.

About the Contributor

Chloe Richmond, Digital Editor

Why did you join the Reveille?

I wanted to push myself outside of my comfort zone. Considering I never shared my writing throughout high school, I’d say the Reveille has aided me well.

What positions have you held at the Reveille?

I was a sports reporter for three semesters. I covered beach volleyball and volleyball.

What’s your favorite thing about working at the Reveille?

Aside from the rewarding feeling of seeing my byline on the Internet and in print, my favorite thing about working at the Reveille hands down is the community. I love my cool writer friends.

What’s your favorite story that you’ve written so far?

Everyone will tell you that I’m the biggest Nebraska volleyball fan, so naturally, my favorite story is my comparison between LSU and Nebraska volleyball. A couple of honorable mentions go out to my 2023 SEC volleyball breakdown and the profile I did on former LSU volleyball player Josie Vondran.

What do you hope to do after graduation?

I want to work in the Big Ten conference on the women’s volleyball beat (if you couldn’t guess). My ideal situation would involve me generating feature/profile stories that highlight athletes as people beyond their sport.
