On Sunday afternoon, LSU Tigers women’s basketball coach Kim Mulkey led her team to the NCAA Tournament title. And in her postgame press conference, she got pretty fired up, but it had nothing to do with the game.

During the postgame press conference, Kim Mulkey was asked whether or not she thought it was good for women’s college basketball that there was a lot of social media chatter about Sunday’s game. She took the opportunity to blast social media.

“Look, are you basically asking me what I think of social media?” Kim Mulkey said. “I like y’all better than I do social media. So if you’re on social media and hiding behind a computer, I don’t like you. If you want to face me eyeball to eyeball and disagree with me on things, I respect you more.”

“I know nothing about Twitter, Facebook. I have accounts. You’ll see I have accounts. I don’t touch those. My coaches do it for me. So I can’t help you in any area of what was said,” Mulkey said.

Mulkey then addressed the controversial incident after the game when LSU’s Alexis Morris taunted Caitlin Clark, revealing that she did not pay attention to any of the conversations about the incident on social media.

“I looked at Alexis and go, what did she say? What is the blowup about? And quite frankly, I don’t care. I waste no time on all that stuff. It’s the world we live in, but guys, I’m too old. I’m too old to worry about all that stuff. Now, if she does something or we’re doing something that embarrasses the program, my coaches and my administrators usually help me address that.”
