Kim Mulkey on Hailey Van Lith

[@JeffyPlaysItAll]

Big Ten fan here! Hailey had a bad game, but overall, had a great season! Just like with Clark in 2023....😊 Shes gonna be great in the WNBA! ❤❤

[@jazzyj6640]

I think Kim should have had her guard Kate Martin and Johnson guard Clark. Would have been a better match-up!

[@lonnieperry3227]

Totally agree...

Caitlin kicked Haley's ASS!!!

[@claywedgeworth3533]

She kicked every body’s no matter who was on her like mike with the Bulls

[@craighanson-rc1md]

Clark kick everyone on the LSU's ass including Angel Reese who often didnt even really try. At least van lith put the total effort out even with her knowing who she was guard & the fact that Clark has whe 5+ inches of height over Van Lith while Reese is around 5'11 to 6'1 so has more level playing field against clark. It was the coaches fault & it wasn't Van Lith's it wasn't Reese's fault it's a game last year they won I personally think they got lucky but not this year & it sucks for LSU & it's fans but it wasn't their year. Again Reese couldnt stop Clark anymore then Van Lith....or Morrow or anyone else on the LSU team. Clark scored 41 points & like 9 3 pointers out of 15 she shot I think & no one stopped her. At least Van Lith put everything she had into trying which is more then others on the team.

@@charlesgair8608 even if that's true she's done more then you or any other basketball player has in 4 years of college then anyone else in college sport history male or female. Clearly you're insecure & jealous about that. We all know she could school you something fierce. Jealousy such a hilarious thing. Go watch the film barbi that seems more up your insecure alley. I'm not even a basketball fan more a hockey fan now there's a sport but Iowa women's BB is pretty amazing. BTW Iowa women's BB averages more point a game then most other women's team college or WNBA & you wonder why people are finding Iowa Women's BB more entertaining then mens or nba or wnba or even most other sports going right now.

People who who think Haley's defense is why they lost don't know basketball. There was no stopping CC. It was Hailey's horrendous OFFENSE that lost LSU the game. She went 2-10 from the field, 1-6 from three.... and they only lost by 7! All she had to do was hit a few of those wide open shots and the outcome would be totally different. Sounds harsh but she let her teammates down.

[@judithrose4560]

Missed you on the court during our national anthem. Shame on you.

[@craighanson-rc1md]

It's a free country & while I dont agree with sports putting politics into the game especially as a league like the nba & wnba players have their rights. Our brave soldiers, air force, marines, navy, coastees, & first responders work hard & put in alot so we all can be free to say what we want & think even if at times other disagree or even are offended by it. Things like this though as you mentioned are why LSU have been trashed especially since last years flook win in the finals. I also have to point out to the LSU team & fans that while they have the right to not show or stand for the anthem they couldn't be doing this or playing in the wnba next year in any other country in the world let alone getting paid to do so. They make far more money playing in the wnba or even college with NIL nonsense then anywhere else in the world & wonder why no one watches women's college or wnba until the arrival of Clark & Iowa womens. The best part is Iowa is still pretty well positioned for next season even with losing Clark to the wnba & other seniors to graduate school & ineligibility after senior years. Iowa has a few great incoming first college year along with a lot of the current roster returning like Stuelke.

[@jimrullo9285]

I'm sure the Louisville basketball team is privately thrilled with seeing Hailey getting torched and scorched by a much better player. Outsmarted and outplayed, tarnishing whatever "brand" she thought her decision to leave Louisville would result in. Was a bad move all around. Learn from it.

[@socaljarhead7670]

[@Payne_Inc.]

[@ajsimmons7239]

In all fairness to Hailey, she was too short and too slow to guard Clark. That was poor coaching in my opinion. Johnson would have been a better choice, with her length and speed. Good luck to her and thank you for your time at LSU.

[@Dre51255]

I get everyone has bad games but Hailey been having bad games for along time NOW! Yes Morrow didn’t play her best but she came through multiples times in games. Hailey in the other hand been horrible at Defense and offense.

[@craighanson-rc1md]

Reese didn't play her best even if you want to blame her foot. Reese clearly through out the game couldnt contain Clark or anyone else on Iowa any better then Van Lith who btw was like 5 or 6 inches shorter then Clark. At least Van Lith put the effort in more then Reese or Morrow seemed to do. Reese literally at times just throw a hand up as if that's enough to stop clark or block Clark from adjusting to see around it. Reese more then a few times threw her hand up but clearly after the shot was already at the basket & rarely jumped to really try & put forth effort. Van Lith did though. Make your excuse for Morrow or Reese but I don't think either of them put much effort into the game from the start. Reese averaged like 18 points a game & 10 rebounds which is about what she got last night nothing special with that. Someone on LSU had to have a special game but no one including trash talker Reese didn't & couldn't come up with the stops or the above average points. Iowa had multiple players who had double doubles even with caitlin having a 41 point game.

I'm pretty sure you can only transfer once or you have to sit out a season maybe that's changed but I pretty sure that's the case & I'm pretty sure either way she's a senior so I don't think she could play even if she wanted to let alone else where. She's a great player seems to love the game just like Gabe Marshall on Iowa but I don't think either of them could go to the wnba once force out of college so sadly I think her time is done. If she can play again I think she should stay & play she looks like she still wants to but I doubt should would if she could. And Reese will likely got to the wnba even though I don't think she's ready for it yet.

@@thomasmueller837 not at 5'7 or so & pretty much every other player in the wnba is over 6' & twice her size.
