The NCAA women’s tournament is filled with dynamic teams and household names. Among the biggest is LSU forward Angel Reese.
Reese, a junior forward from Baltimore, Maryland, is averaging a double-double for her third consecutive season and is LSU’s best player. More importantly, Reese and the Tigers are looking to repeat as women’s college basketball national champions, following their 102-85 victory over Caitlin Clark and Iowa last April. Reese was named the Most Outstanding Player in the championship game.
This season, LSU will be looking to repeat, though it lost to South Carolina in the SEC championship game, a tense contest in which multiple players from both sides were Rejected.
Reese is a junior forward from Baltimore, Maryland, who played high school basketball at St. Frances Academy. She played the first two seasons of her college basketball career at the University of Maryland, where she came in as one of the top prospects in the country; ESPN ranked her as the No. 2 overall recruit in her class, behind Paige Bueckers.
Reese played sparingly her freshman season, but still averaged 10 points and six rebounds in 15 games, which earned her recognition on the Big 10 All-Freshman team. As a sophomore, Reese led Maryland to a Sweet 16 appearance and led the team in scoring (17.8) and rebounding (10.6), becoming the first Terrapin since 1975 to average a double double. She entered the transfer portal in 2022 and eventually chose to go to LSU.
