Angel Reese
LSU Tigers star Angel Reese had a heartbreaking message following the team’s Elite 8 loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes on Monday night.
In a rematch of last year’s national championship game, Angel Reese and the Tigers put up a spirited effort but fell 94-87 to Caitlin Clark’s Hawkeyes. The loss ended LSU’s bid for a repeat, and now the program will wait and see if Reese decides to either a) return to college for another year or b) declare for the WNBA Draft.
An emotional Reese had a heartbreaking message in her post-game press conference to reporters, noting all the cruel and disturbing attacks she’s had to deal endure:
“I’ve been through so much, I’ve seen so much. I’ve been attacked so many times. Death threats, I’ve been sexualized. I’ve been threatened…I just try to stand strong for my teammates because I don’t want them to see me down…
And it sucks…but I wouldn’t change anything…I’m unapologetically me. I’m always going to leave that mark and be who I am.”
