Kim is not new to this, she is TRUE to this. With several championship rings under her belt, she knows what she is doing. The bench will play when she plays them, period🤷🏾‍♀️

It’s clear that the bench players clearly don’t shine in practice which is why she lacks trust in them. Then she puts them in the game and they make bad mistakes

To be clear she was not rotating anyone in during the first half outside of Poa and very briefly Del Rosario. The bench is going to have to log more than one minute to gain experience.

The thing is the bench has to prove itself to be able to gain Kim's confidence. We had a bench last season and they played a lot and was a major reason we won it all

@@not4theweak122 . . . you're asking a question about last year. The bench issue is this year.

I completely disagree with Kim on this. When they were playing inferior opponents and have a 30 point lead in the 1st half, she would continue to play here starters into the 4th quarter. The reserves should have played the entire 2nd half. How can you ever expect more from the reserves when they only get garbage time minutes?

It’s called being ready and staying ready . If you’re ready, it doesn’t matter if you only play 1min what matters is, what you do with that minutes. That’s basically her point they were up 30, the bench if ready should’ve kept that lead or make it bigger so they gain more minutes further into the season. Minutes on the court, means more experience for them against opponents who are trying to their best to gain momentum to win or get back in the game.

Losing KP and Sa’myah really took away from their depth also with Angel missing those 4 game and this being a relatively new group it’s vital the main 5-6 players get as much time on the court together to build chemistry prior to conference play. Further more when she does sub especially freshman into the game, They don’t look ready they look like they lack confidence. That’s not going to work with a coach like Kim Mulkey. The SEC is a gritty conference they just need to keep working to earn their minutes.

Just love KIM AND HER DETERMINATION❤!

she should run out onto the court during games, oh wait, never mind.

It’s very clear to me that its her desire to win by the most points possible. This is more important instead of supporting and growing her bench players.

27 point lead, not 23 pts coach. That's what it went up to.

Lsu Bench got step there game up

Love it!!!

She's been winning championships before LSU. She knows what she's talking about. Her players had better listen if they want to repeat because there are at least 5 teams outside of their conference that can beat them right now.

I would hate to play for her. She's doing a number on their confidence...

I don’t see why people are upset at her comment players get rewarded for having high scores then that’s what she wants from her players score high so that way you don’t have to worry about it down the road

No free rides. If starters are up by 30 and the bench comes in and give up 15, I wouldn’t put them back in either. Basketball is a momentum game. If you’re not locking down defense and can’t score then sit down. It’s up to the players. Everyone wants to be top tier but won’t put in top tier work.

if the non starters don't get more experience they aren't going that far. great team but if someone goes down or fouls out.. what then? you go up by 30 in first half you start rotating in and giving starters a break.. it slides, you put them back in some then out again etc.. totally disagree with Kim on this but then I'm not a coach :). and she's one of the best

She's saying that defense wins championships.

Hey LSU bench quit on Mulkey and show her your value. She’s over the top .Let her go out there and run the floor .

She’s a beast

What happened to Flaujae. She was ball hogging, missing ez layups, etc. She was clearly frustrated. 😢

She's tough!!!!!

Kim...I understand where you are coming from but you have to "prepare" your reserve players in "practice"...Get after them but you have constantly remind them of your expectations for them and you must empower them in practice by giving them more reps and opportunities to play with the starters in scrimmage..."mixed" line-ups...Otherwise...they will continue to come on the floor with a "back-up" less- than mentality...However...you still won by 17 points against a team whose strength is defense...

Just enjoy the ride…repeating a national champions in this era of basketball is very difficult. Way too much expectations at this moment in the season.
