The headline moment? Kim Mulkey asking, “Who can guard Tessa Johnson?!” — a question LSU never really answered as Tessa Johnson delivered timely buckets and Raven Johnson controlled the tempo. We also take a clear-eyed look at MiLaysia Fulwiley’s matchup against her former team and what her performance says about expectations, fit, and facing elite defenses.

South Carolina embarrassed Tennessee, winning 93–50 in a game that marked the worst loss in Tennessee program history.
In this episode, we break down how South Carolina exposed the gap between elite programs and those still finding their footing. But the biggest conversation came after the final buzzer.
Postgame comments from Tennessee head coach Kim Caldwell — including a remark many interpreted as calling her team “quitters” — sparked immediate debate. Was it tough accountability in a brutal moment, or a sign of deeper locker room issues?
We discuss what this game revealed about leadership, culture, and what comes next for both programs.
