00:03 How about an upset of the number one team in the land and
00:06 the defending national title winners on night number one.
00:10 Colorado Donnie pulls off the stutter.
00:12 Now, the buffs are ranked as well, but we often see in college basketball,
00:18 even among the top 25, there are margins of difference.
00:23 And LSU loses by 14 Donnie as an 11 and a half point favorite.
00:29 Everybody is back, Angel Reese, Flau'jae Johnson, and
00:32 they even added Haley Van Liff.
00:35 Kim Mulkey remains one of the most successful head coaches ever in women's
00:39 college basketball, and yet LSU loses by 14 points on night number one.
00:46 A shocker out in Las Vegas, all the chips in Donnie, and
00:51 LSU is walking away from the table.
00:53 >> By the way, if you're Kim Mulkey, deep down, you left that basketball game,
00:57 you talked to the media, went home, and like, thank you for that loss.
01:00 Because I have an all-star team with the biggest,
01:03 most inflated heads you could have, and rightfully so.
01:06 When you're at that age, and you stormed the basketball world last year, and
01:10 win a national championship in the NIL era, where you're going on the banquet
01:14 circuit, you're getting flown out to ESPN, ESPN awards,
01:17 you're going all over the country, you are the apple of everybody's eye.
01:21 And then you get one of the best transfers in the nation to join your team, and
01:25 also have an unbelievable recruiting class.
01:27 You ask Kim Mulkey after a championship, when you're trying to crack that whip in
01:30 practice by going, hey, concentrate here, like, hey, coach, you know what?
01:35 We got this here, we're national champs, look at us,
01:37 we're the Globetrotters right now, we'll be just fine.
01:41 They get smoked in game number one, that next practice, Kim Mulkey shows up,
01:45 looks at a team and goes, now are you ready to listen?
01:48 And they'll be reengaged here.
01:49 I think for the long scheme here, for the 2023, 2024 season,
01:53 that was a great loss for LSU, because Mulkey now can drive home that stake and
01:58 goes, if you don't wanna work hard, if you don't wanna,
02:00 I'm not even saying they weren't doing that, Ben, but see what I mean?
02:03 Like, you were all of those coaches, you suffer that bad game, it's like, okay,
02:07 now the options are mine, you'll listen to what I have to say, and
02:10 you'll execute accordingly, and we'll be on our way.
02:12 I think in a silver lining yesterday, good times for a loss for LSU,
02:17 game number one, humbled, and then they'll be back on the prowl.
02:19 >> 19 turnovers, by the way, for the Bayou Bengals last night.
02:25 There is something for Kim Mulkey there to drive a point home.
02:29 Angel Reese still a double-double, 15 points and 12 rebounds.
02:33 On the other side, though, for Colorado, a couple of really big nights,
02:37 Foreman 27 points, and Vonlay 24 points for the Buffs as well.
02:43 A shocker to start the year in women's college basketball, because Donnie,
02:47 we often see number one teams in the country in women's college hoops,
02:51 who might be the defending national champs, start off a year a perfect 25 and
02:56 0, and keep it rolling all year long, 0 and 1 for the Tigers to begin this season.
