LSU women’s basketball coach Kim Mulkey is firing back at the media over coverage of the skirmish that took place between South Carolina and LSU during the Southeastern Conference tournament championship on Sunday, calling it “a little bit sexist.”

During an appearance on her weekly radio show on Tuesday, Mulkey took issue with the portrayal of the fight, which resulted in six players getting ejected late in the fourth quarter of the South Carolina victory.

“When you have two tough teams, that play so hard, that are so good and compete. Those kind of things happen,” Mulkey said, via nola.com.

“It’s so out of control with the media right now. You don’t get this much attention when men do it. So why do you keep writing it about the women? It really comes across, and I’ll just say it, it comes across as a little bit sexist. And you’re tearing down two great teams. You’re tearing down a woman who coaches one of those teams. Stop it, it’s not newsworthy after the first introduction. I’ve seen every men’s game that’s had something like that, and it’s no big deal.”

South Carolina forward Kamilla Cardoso was one of the six players ejected from Sunday’s game when she — at 6-foot-7 — shoved 5-foot-10 Flau’jae Johnson to the floor.

Mulkey faced harsh criticism for remarks that Cardoso should have pushed Tigers forward Angel Reese instead of Johnson because of the height discrepancy.

“If you’re 6-8, don’t push somebody that little. That was uncalled for in my opinion. Let those two girls who were jawing, let them go at it.”

Mulkey doubled down on her reaction in a separate radio appearance on Tuesday.

“I am what I am,” Mulkey said, via NOLA.com. “I have no ill intentions. I have no agenda. I speak from my heart. I speak from my life experiences. And people like it or don’t like it. I have nothing, nothing whatsoever in my heart to harm anybody, but I fight like hell. That’s who I am.”

South Carolina coach Dawn Staley apologized for the incident after Sunday’s game.

“I just don’t want the people who are tuning in to women’s basketball to see that and think that is our game, because it isn’t,” she said. “Our game is a really beautiful thing.”

Cardoso will face a one-game suspension, per NCAA rules, and miss the Gamecocks’ NCAA Tournament opener next week. Johnson’s brother is also facing charges after he was arrested for jumping over the scorer’s table to get involved in the fight.

Penn State adds Mississippi State punter transfer Nathan Tiyce

Penn State adds Mississippi State punter transfer Nathan Tiyce

Penn State went from having no punters on its 2026 roster to having a pair in a matter of days. Incoming Navy All-American specialist Lucas Tenbrock arrived in Happy Valley to move in for the spring semester, and the Nittany Lions have also added a punter through the transfer portal.

Former Mississippi State punter Nathan Tiyce visited Penn State on Friday, and BWI has learned that he will be joining the Nittany Lions for the spring. He’s enrolled at University Park and set to begin classes this week.

The 6-foot-5, 230-pounder from Gerringong, Australia, was a 25-year-old freshman for the Bulldogs last season. A product of ProKick Australia, Tyice spent two years at Tocal College and five years working on a farm before coming to the United States last year. He played rugby for his local club, the Gerringong Lions, before suffering an injury. He then joined ProKick for a trial after discovering American Football and committed to Mississippi State just before Christmas in 2024.

Tiyce was part of a battle for the starting job in Starkville in 2025, eventually losing the full-time gig to Ethan Pulliam. Pullium went on to average 46.76 yards per punt and earn a second-team All-American nod from The Sporting News. Tiyce was used in situational roles, mostly as a pooch punter. He punted 12 times for a 39-yard average with a long of 54. Of those 12, two went over 50 yards and seven ended up inside the 20-yard line. He had one touchback and five punts resulted in fair catches.

Penn State set for reset at punter in 2026

With Gabe Nwosu and Riley Thompson both exhausting their eligibility after the 2025 season, Penn State will need to add two punters ahead of next fall. Tenbrock flipped to the Nittany Lions from Iowa State after Matt Campbell made the switch. He’s the No. 5 punter nationally according to the Rivals Industry rankings.

Despite his age, Tiyce is in a similar situation to Thompson’s at Penn State. He is still sophomore-eligible with three years left to play. He and Tenbrock will compete through the spring and into the preseason.
