LSU enjoyed a record-setting victory over Iowa in the national championship of the 2023 NCAA women’s basketball tournament, dropping 102 points to win its first-ever national title.
Tigers’ star forward Angel Reese held nothing back during the waning moments of the game, taunting Hawkeyes superstar Caitlin Clark straight to her face.

The refs did not need to make themselves the main character of an incredible LSU-Iowa women’s NCAA championship game.
The Iowa Hawkeyes and LSU Tigers seemed to be set for an instant classic in the national championship game of the 2023 women’s NCAA basketball tournament.

Charles Barkley appeared on The Bird and Taurasi Show during the 2023 women’s national title game on Sunday and didn’t hold back his thoughts on what WNBA players go through in comparison to other sports leagues.
While speaking with WNBA legends Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi, the NBA legend called out American companies for not investing more in the WNBA, because, otherwise, the players could earn enough money to not have to play in international leagues in the offseason.
“The WNBA is a great product but y’all should not have to do to these crap countries to make money,” Barkley said.

Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout had a showdown for the ages at the World Baseball Classic. Ohtani struck Trout out, clinching the title for Japan over the United States.
But baseball’s two best players are back playing for their MLB team, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. That’s still the dumbest name in American professional sports, by the way.
But I digress. I don’t want to get too far from the important story here. Teammates Ohtani and Trout are back to batting in the same lineup, instead of facing one another.

In her second season at LSU, former Baylor coach Kim Mulkey wins the national title in a win over Iowa

Kim Mulkey appeared to engage in a questionable interaction with an official on Sunday during LSU’s highly-charged women’s national championship game against Iowa.
Video of Mulkey, who has quite the history of animated encounters with officials, made the rounds on social media after it appeared to show the LSU coach make contact with an official twice on the sidelines. The exchange occurred after Mulkey protested what she believed was a foul on a shot attempt by forward LaDazhia Williams.
