LSU women’s basketball coach Kim Mulkey is firing back at the media over coverage of the skirmish that took place between South Carolina and LSU during the Southeastern Conference tournament championship on Sunday, calling it "a little bit sexist." 

During an appearance on her weekly radio show on Tuesday, Mulkey took issue with the portrayal of the fight, which resulted in six players getting ejected late in the fourth quarter of the South Carolina victory.

"When you have two tough teams, that play so hard, that are so good and compete. Those kind of things happen," Mulkey said, via nola.com.

"It's so out of control with the media right now. You don't get this much attention when men do it. So why do you keep writing it about the women? It really comes across, and I'll just say it, it comes across as a little bit sexist. And you're tearing down two great teams. You're tearing down a woman who coaches one of those teams. Stop it, it's not newsworthy after the first introduction. I've seen every men's game that's had something like that, and it's no big deal."

South Carolina forward Kamilla Cardoso was one of the six players ejected from Sunday’s game when she — at 6-foot-7 — shoved 5-foot-10 Flau'jae Johnson to the floor.
