Despite her reputation for style on the sidelines, Mulkey said she’s not the one hunting for these outfits.

“Y’all know the story. I don’t shop,” she said in the postgame press conference. “That was dropped off at the house maybe Friday, and I wasn’t even there. And they put two (outfits) up, and I said, ‘Oh, let’s do that one today.’

“They sell this stuff. ‘Queen of Sparkles,’ I’ve told y’all. I need to get an NIL deal with them, don’t I?” she joked. “Look at all those sparkles out there, that hasn’t been that way until I got here, right? She needs to send me some of her money.”

Mulkey also noted that there actually are some outfits that even she deems too outlandish to wear on the sideline.

“Oh, yes. I’m 62 years old, and I’m a team player. That’s how I got talked into this sparkle stuff, and I said I’ll do it for the team, it’ll sell tickets to those fashionistas that know nothing about basketball,” she said at the press conference. “Yes, ‘Do it, Coach,’ and I did it, and it’s worked. But some of that stuff? No way. I won’t even describe some of it because some people wear that, but not this old country girl from Tickfaw (in Louisiana).”
