LSU fans and students alike showed their support in great numbers tonight before the big game, which began at 7 p.m. Students were grateful to Mulkey for the generous gesture. 

“A thank you to her that we get to come here tonight and she paid for the student section. Thank you to Coach Mulkey," said Kate Ragusa, an LSU student.

“That’s why we love her. She obviously cares about the students so that really attracts people here so, we’re just trying to pack the house for them tonight," said Blake Kolb, another LSU student.
