I love Dawn's interviews....she always tells the truth good or bad about her team. She keeps it real and I like how she said that about Flaujae coming to her....so that she can kill any negative narrative on LSU or their players.

I agree. Compare: MULKEY: "It's ugly, it's not good, no one wants to be a part of that, no one wants to see that ugliness" she said. "But I'll tell you this, I wish she would've pushed Angel Reese. If you're 6-8 [6-7], don't push somebody that little. That was uncalled for in my opinion. Let those two girls who were jawing, let them go at it." STALEY: "I just want to apologize to the basketball community. You know when you're playing in championship games like this in our league, things get heated... I want to apologize for us playing a part in that, that's not who we are, that's not what we're about."

These are college kids, we have to extend grace to them. Their brains aren’t even fully developed yet.

Dawn taking accountability for her players’ actions, acknowledging LSU’s role in the incident too, and tying it all together with speaking about her conversation with Flaujae and making sure she defends her character as a person ..that is class on a whole ‘nother level. I’ve never really had an opinion about Kim mulkey one way or the other. I just knew she was a very successful coach in the sport . But something about her press conference rubbed me the wrong way and almost seemed bigoted. It kind of reminded of me of listening to a politician that I don’t like. Idk.

Sometimes people react understandably. Bad on her part for sure but understandable in the heat of the moment. Plus, I think the pushing on the "baby" of the bunch escalated it in her. And I agree with another commenter... Yeah, it was bad but there have been far worse altercations. This was a player shoving another player. It's not like a melee or brawl.

What an example of a girls basketball team, COACH!!!! I respected her before, but now I hold a higher level of respect for her. She is classy as one should be. She holds herself accountable,as she should have. I hear love as she speaks for her players. As for Cardoso, we all have done things that we regretted , the very secret it was done. Do not judge her for today before you go and watch other interviews of her. She may be 6,7”, but her smile and heart is much much more than what we saw today. If there is a person walking on this earth, that has never made a mistake, I would love to meet them. We are not GOD, we all make mistakes!!!! Congratulations on the SEC CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

Congratulations to Coach and players. Kudos to Coach for speaking to the player on the LSU. Kudos to Coach for taking ownership for the role your team played in scuffle. Its happens and this one incident should not be held against either team. If anything it should show how passion the ladies are about playing and winning the chip.

The responses of the 2 team players reflect the coaches' attitudes! These young women are calm and refocused. On the other hand, LSU act like they are ready to continue the chaos by saying they're not scared!!! Clearly the way Kim and Dawn nurture their teams are totally opposite! Thank you, Dawn for teaching young women how to grow to be professional women! ❤

Will SC Athletics take any action against Cardosa? This is not her first time to do this.

You ladies have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. What I observed was nothing less than exhibiting a level of courage, unity, and character that should be commended. What I saw was players working to come to the defense of their teammates. What I saw was two rivals unwilling to bow down. IMO, it was a thing of beauty to see. What’s disheartening, and coming from a man’s opinion is the women are held to a different standard. While women lift all those weights, run all those laps, and prepare at the same rate as men, it seems to be unacceptable for you to stand up for your teammates. I’m telling you, during the Bad Boy era it was expected to unite. Another observation is that in 2024, this era of women’s basketball is becoming a game changer. What I see is MUST SEE T.V. The level of play is incredibly high and the personalities are gravitationally welcoming.

On one hand, Ms Cardoso should have pushed Ms Reese because She's the one that accosted Her several times during the game; Yet, on the other hand, It was Ms Johnson who created/started the game interrupting situation that received the push of frustrations that had been building up by Ms Cardoso throughout the game. I agree that the game Referees should taken better Control of the game Early-on and Set a better atmosphere for Fair Play. Finally; I Do Not Condone the Actions of Anyone for the Disruptive Incident that Stopped The Game. Peace...

It's one thing to play the game hard and physical, that's expected. It's something different to play violently. Both teams are tipping too close to the latter. For those who desire a BB career after college, they will have to learn the difference. Play fair, play tough and be safe.

Much respect for Dawn handling this tough conversation with class. This is two teams very competitive trying to win a game. Why is it different for ladies sports. No not something that everyone wants to happen.
