Kim Mulkey is making it super easy for LSU fans to cheer on the Tigers in this year’s NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament.
The legendary LSU women’s basketball coach has purchased every ticket in the student section at Pete Maravich Assembly Center (PMAC) in Baton Rouge for the Tigers' first- and second-round games. That’s right: LSU students will have free tickets to two Tigers tournament games. The women head into March Madness with a 28-5 overall record and a No. 3 seed.
"For the fourth straight year, we have earned the ability to host first and second-round games in the NCAA Tournament as a No. 3 seed!” Mulkey said in a statement shared on social media Tuesday. “Your energy in the PMAC has been unmatched all season long, and we need you to be our 6th man during these playoff games. I am pleased to be able to purchase the student tickets for these games in the PMAC. All we need is for you to show up, be loud, and help propel us to victory!"
LSU takes on No. 14 seed San Diego State University on Saturday night in the first round. If the Tigers move on to the second round against the winner of Florida State University versus George Mason University, Mulkey will cover those tickets too.
LSU students can get their tickets here.
Mulkey urged LSU students to claim their free seats as soon as possible in an interview with ESPN 104.5 FM Tuesday.
"They need to do it quickly," she said, "because the allotment's gonna go fast, and if it goes fast, and we continue to have a high demand, so be it. I'll take my checkbook and pay for those. Here's what you cannot do, as LSU fans, and we don't. Don't take these first and second-round games for granted."
