BATON ROUGE, La. — New LSU football coach Lane Kiffin attended the No. 5 Tigers’ women’s basketball game Thursday night as his former team, Ole Miss, was taking on Georgia in a College Football Playoff quarterfinal game at the Sugar Bowl.
Kiffin and women’s basketball coach Kim Mulkey emerged from the tunnel at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center holding hands before the Tigers lost to No. 11 Kentucky at the buzzer, 80-78.
Kiffin and Mulkey’s appearance on the court drew a roar from the crowd, and Mulkey raised her left hand to point at Kiffin while the pair responded by raising their joined hands in the air.
Texas A&M dropped the Tigers to 5-3 overall.
Kelly went 34-14 with the Tigers, even getting to the 2022 SEC title game, but LSU did not qualify for the CFP in his three seasons.
