LSU Tigers star Angel Reese said that she has been attacked “so many times” over the past year as her team bowed out of the NCAA women’s basketball tournament on Monday. Reese and LSU lost 94-87 in the Elite Eight against a Caitlin Clark-inspired Iowa – a much-anticipated repeat of last season’s title game. After what could have been the final game of her college career, a tearful Reese spoke about what she has endured since winning the 2023 NCAA title, saying: “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.” CNN has contacted LSU to offer the university the opportunity to comment. Reese added that she hasn’t been happy since winning last year’s title – LSU’s first NCAA women’s basketball championship – but still “wouldn’t change anything.” During last year’s title game, the 21-year-old approached Clark and made a “you can’t see me” gesture – popularized by WWE star John Cena – before pointing to her finger in an apparent reference to her soon-to-be-acquired championship ring.
