LSU women’s basketball came under fire on Monday night after the team didn’t come out for the national anthem before its regional final game against the Iowa Hawkeyes.

A video from OutKick’s Dan Zaksheske showed Iowa players holding hands during the rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner." LSU had left the court right before the anthem was played.

Iowa won the game 97-84 behind Caitlin Clark’s 41 points.

LSU head coach Kim Mulkey was asked after the game why the team didn’t come out for the national anthem. Mulkey chalked it up to "routine."

Personally, these actions are so irritating to me. When will this stuff end?

from a loyal USA citizen.

Our National Anthem shouldn't be played at sporting events. The tradition started during war time. First the Civil War then WWI. We are not at war, unless you consider with ourselves!

Actually, it appears that we ARE at war - internally. What's wrong with our national anthem, wherever it is played. Personally, I'm tired of the disrespect within our country - worse than ever, especially within our universities. Seems that if we fly our flag, honor our country, salute our flag, or any other ways to show our patriotism --- it appears that we are on ONE side. It's like a cancer in our country.

NO ! She's just that good !!

Yes this Hill is an idiot and a racist. She’s either blind or just plain stupid. Caitlin Clark deserves all the credit she gets because she has worked her butt off to gain the skills. People need to take a look at who is really screeming racism.

She may be....and ‘to take a look at who...’, just look down the road a bit from TV, a little castle with a princess. Yup, that’s right, Disney! 80% ownership of ESPN and 100% operational control. Remember that if it bothers you to this extreme next time you hit the turnstiles at the Magic Kingdom or watch a favorite tv show. Directly or indirectly, you’re underwriting the narrative.

"Mulkey then proceeded to emphasize that they didn’t purposely ignore the anthem, as they were simply doing their routine and fulfilling their pregame responsibilities. Mulkey noted that it was “nothing intentionally done.”

“Honestly, I don’t even know when the Anthem was played. We kind of have a routine where we’re on the floor and then they come off at the 12-minute mark. I don’t know. We come in and do our pre-game stuff,” Mulkey explained.

Ok, OK then. So it's their "routine". "Honestly......." There are so many times when we hear "honestly".... meaningless and a dishonest cover.

So their 'routine' is to dishonor the country... Funny that other teams' routines stay out their to stand for our anthem.....

I think any one of the 4 can win. It's great for the sport and our home state.
