  1. Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry threatens scholarships after LSU players miss national anthem before Iowa loss. The pregame logistics of LSU's Elite Eight loss to Iowa have turned into a controversy that reached the governor's mansion on Tuesday. Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry posted a tweet the morning after LSU's 94-87 loss to Iowa calling for the Louisiana Board of Regents to create a policy mandating that student-athletes be present for a pregame national anthem or risk losing their scholarships. Several conservative commentators had spent the previous several hours criticizing LSU's players and coaches for not being on the court when the national anthem was played ahead of the Elite Eight in Albany, New York. Landry's full tweet: The LSU players not being on the court wasn't a protest of any sort, as LSU head coach Kim Mulkey explained after the game. The coach of the defending champions told reporters that the team was following its usual pregame routine:
  2. (CNN) — Monday night’s Elite Eight showdown between Caitlin Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes and Angel Reese’s LSU Tigers set the all-time ratings record for a women’s college basketball game, according to ESPN. More than 12 million people tuned in to watch the much-hyped rematch of 2023’s national championship game, which saw Iowa avenge last year’s loss and advance to its second straight Final Four. ESPN also boasted that Monday’s audience of 12.3 million made it the “most-watched college basketball game EVER on ESPN platforms.”
  3. The NCAA apologized for letting five women's March Madness games play out on a court with uneven 3-point lines, one nine inches shorter at the apex than the other. The line was fixed ahead of Monday's Elite Eight games. "We apologize for this error and the length of time for which it went unnoticed," the NCAA said in a statement released Monday. "Simply put, this court did not meet our expectations, and the NCAA should have caught the error sooner."
  4. ALBANY, N.Y. - Kim Mulkey paid Caitlin Clark the ultimate compliment. Mulkey and Clark had a moment in the handshake line and the LSU coach said she told Iowa's star, "I sure am glad you're leaving. Girl you’re something else. Never seen anything like it."
  5. They changed their game…now going inside for layups, since we started keying on their guards….getting out coached right now…need a miraculous next 7 min.
