The LSU coach is known for her flashy jackets made of sequin fabric.

Kim Mulkey's LSU Lady Tigers win: Another dominating performance by Angel Reese
The Lady Tigers showed that they more than have what it takes to beat the Mizzou Tigers, with them easily outgunning their conference rival. LSU star Angel Reese scored 21 points and had 13 rebounds and four assists, netting herself another impressive performance.
However, Reese wasn't the team's top scorer, with that accolade falling to Aneesah Morrow, who scored 25 points. She was followed by Flau'jae Johnson, who had 24. The Lady Tigers' top assister was Mikayla Williams, who had seven assists.
LSU is currently ranked No. 7 in the nation and continues to be one of the favorites to win the national title. The Tigers will be back on the court on Sunday afternoon when they clash with the Ole Miss Rebels on the road in Oxford, Mississippi.
