The LSU mascot got some very recent inspiration for its outfit ahead of the 2023 women’s NCAA tournament Final Four on Friday night.
With LSU facing off against Virginia Tech for a spot in the national title game on Sunday, Mike the Tiger decided to sport an homage to Mulkey’s outrageous Sweet 16 jacket that got plenty of attention last week.
Mulkey’s wardrobe always stands out when she’s coaching on the sideline, and Mike the Tiger couldn’t help but join in during Friday’s game.
Hey, while Mulkey originated the look, Mike the Tiger doesn’t look half bad with the hot pink feather boa sleeves!

Friday’s outfit must’ve helped, as LSU defeated Virginia Tech, 79-72, to advance to Sunday’s big 2023 women’s NCAA tournament finale.
We’ll see what Mulkey and Mike the Tiger both wear to that tournament finale.
