“Coach Vic addresses the crowd here at the Moody Center moments after a huge win over Kim Mulkey’s Tigers,” the post reads.
In the clip, Schaefer passionately states, “Praise the Lord & Hook’em Horns!”
The post immediately drew reactions from fans, with one user commenting, “That quote’s going on a t-shirt, and I’ll take two! Damn, that was bada**.”
The enthusiasm from Texas supporters was undeniable as they celebrated a defining moment in their season.
As expected, LSU head coach Kim Mulkey made a bold statement of her own—not just with her team but with her outfit.
Known for her distinctive fashion choices, she wore a multicolored sweater with a heart design on the back. With the game broadcast nationally, her attire once again became a talking point.
LSU and Texas Battle for SEC Seeding
Sunday’s highly anticipated top-10 showdown held significant weight in the SEC standings. Both LSU and Texas entered the game tied at 10-1 in conference play alongside No. 6 South Carolina. The outcome would be crucial in determining seeding for next month’s SEC Tournament.
Beyond the conference implications, the game marked the first time LSU and Texas had faced off since Nov. 24, 2017, in Las Vegas.
It also pitted Mulkey and Schaefer, two of the most respected women’s college basketball coaches, against each other.

However, the defeat served as a reality check as they prepare for the postseason, where every game will be crucial in their quest for a championship.
