It is simultaneously true that CC is one of the best women’s BB players in a long time, if not ever, AND that hawk fans are trying to claim LSU players are classless as a way of deflecting from their being sad about losing the game.
It wasn’t that close of a game, so it’s a little bit harder to complain about the skill or ability of the players.. instead, it’s easier to complain and take a moral “high ground.” The high ground is also at least somewhat racially motivated, even if it’s unintentional for most fans.
If CC does it, it’s okay. If the Angel Reese does it, it’s a distraction and classless. It’s not that hard to see why…
BUT none of the outrage is the fault of CC. She’s a generational talent, and I really wish she was playing at ISU. She’s not, and that is going to be tough to compete with over the next few years.
Also, I’m not a huge fan of Mulkey. Her history with Baylor and treatment of players doesn’t sit well with me. I am glad that the rival team lost to LSU, but still not like LSU’s coach.
