Even though Kelsey Plum of the Las Vegas Aces was only planning to watch some NCAA action from the sidelines, she was unintentionally thrust into the spotlight during the Iowa Hawkeyes vs. UConn Huskies Final Four.

Plum, a two-time WNBA champion, attracted attention from the cameras as she sat among the audience, merrily gorging on popcorn and pulling faces that delighted the audience. As soon as her shenanigans were revealed on the broadcast, social media was flooded with responses.

A graphic accompanying the post highlighting Plum’s notable achievement as the 2017 John R. Wooden Award winner during her senior year in college added an extra layer of context to her presence at the game.

But there were other reactions besides giggles and cheers on the internet. People started making fun of Plum for what they thought were poor attempts at humor, demonstrating how cruel social media can be.

Plum was not happy with way the game concluded.

Plum commented on the actual game amid the hullabaloo surrounding her actions. She was upset with a contentious ruling that happened toward the conclusion of the exciting Iowa-UConn matchup. A thrilling ending was set up when UConn was able to cut Iowa’s advantage to just one point with just 39 seconds remaining. However, with 9.3 seconds left, a critical offensive foul against the Huskies destroyed their chances of winning, giving the Hawkeyes the victory.

Plum didn’t hold back while evaluating the call, expressing on social networking site X that she thought the officials’ controversial choice to end such a crucial game was inappropriate. Plum’s comments echoed those of many fans who believed the conclusion detracted from an otherwise thrilling match.
