Kim Mulkey getting a technical foul in LSU's season opener is so on-brand

Kim Mulkey received a technical foul Monday during LSU’s season opener, and I can’t think of anything more on-brand.

Listen, man. I thought we would be about ten games or so into the season before Kim came off the bench to argue a call. But I am not mad about her getting one immediately because it just means one thing — WE ARE SO BACK.

Here’s how it went down. In the fourth quarter, Fla’jae Johnson was at the top of the key when she pushed to make a move toward the basket. The defender slid over to guard Johnson and, in doing so, fell. Flau’jae got called for a charge and Kim Mulkey (and the crowd) were having none of it. Kim immediately got T’d up for arguing about the call. However, she might have been slightly vindicated because Eastern Kentucky subsequently missed the technical free throw.

Kim Mulkey NOT HAPPY with charging call called on Flau'jae Johnson. Gets technical foul.
