LSU Dominated by Iowa After Walking Off Court During National Anthem

March Madness is an exciting time of year, with basketball games played left and right.

The matchup between the Iowa Hawkeyes and LSU Tigers women’s teams, which is a rematch from the 2023 NCAA National Championship, was a highly anticipated game.

Unfortunately for LSU fans, the Hawkeyes were able to take control of the game early, shortly after the Lady Tigers walked off the court during the National Anthem.

Check out the stark difference between the two teams, the Hawkeyes stood united, holding hands, while the Tigers were nowhere to be found.

No. 3 LSU (reigning National Champs) lost the pivotal game to advance to the Final Four by a score of 94-87 to the No. 1 ranked Iowa Hawkeyes at MVP Arena in Albany.

Kim Mulkey, who is known for her hard-nosed coaching style and her eccentric game-day outfits, attempted to downplay the situation.

LSU Coach Kim Mulkey said her team didn't "intentionally" leave the floor prior to the playing of the National Anthem

Framed like it was a one-time mistake

This is surprisingly not the first time the Lady Tigers have avoided the National Anthem.

If you ever go to an actual LSU game you’ll see that they’re never on the court for the anthem. It’s that simple. I’ve covered them for 3 years & they’ve never been.

Many have taken to X to voice their frustrations over the questionable statement by LSU:

Media is sooo pathetic nowadays. How come not 1 single reporter/media didn’t ask/bash LSU for WALKING OFF THE COURT DURING USA NATIONAL ANTHEM.

Pathetic for @LSUwbkb

Spineless @espn will refuse to talk about it as well. #MarchMaddness

Angel Reese and LSU disrespected our country by walking off the court during the national anthem.

No more NCAA federal funding until they force teams to show our country a modicum of respect.

Hey @LSUwbkb instead of walking off the court during the national anthem maybe focus on playing the game. It’s simple show up, put the round thing in the round thing and go to the final 4. @Reese10Angel you fucking disgust me! Have some pride in America!#LSU #LSUWBKB

Honestly, and this is coming from an LSU alum, it appears they are arranging their affairs so that they intentionally miss the National Anthem. If you're a college coach who specializes in teaching her players to pay attention to details, this is not a coincidence. Sorry, TRUTH.
