Angel Reese drops fiery message for haters “I am not pregnant. Check full details.
Angel Reese, the standout forward for LSU’s women’s basketball team, has a message for her critics as she gears up for the Tigers’ March Madness encounter with Rice. Reese made it clear that she’s unfazed by the detractors and fully ready to showcase her talents on the court
“They said I was too worried about social media, my GPA was low, I was pregnant,” Reese said of her time this season absent from the team, via Katie Barnes of ESPN. “Yeah, my stats have gone down maybe four to five points because I’m on a way better team this year. But I’m still averaging a double-double every game. I think people don’t realize I can do 10,000 things and still be good at all of them. And I can’t wait till just everything just falls right into place.”
Her assertiveness should come as no surprise. Reese’s intense physical matchups, most notably with South Carolina’s Kamilla Cardoso in the SEC title game, show her competitive spirit. Despite the pressure and expectations that have only mounted following a standout season in 2023 and her recognition as SEC Player of the Year, Reese remains committed to being her authentic self.
“I want people to underestimate me,” she said. “I’m telling you, I have everything bookmarked for the right moment when everything just falls right into my hands.”
