The Angel Reese Game.
That’s how I’ll forever remember LSU’s 66-42 win over Michigan in Sunday’s NCAA Tournament Round of 32 game. Reese went off to the tune of 25 points, 24 rebounds, 6 blocks, 4 assists, and 3 steals.
Behind Reese’s dominant presence inside, a massive rebounding disparity, and suffocating defense, LSU advanced to its first Sweet 16 since 2014. Reese left the game early in the first quarter after taking an elbow to the face that bloodied her lip. But Reese checked back in at the next clock stoppage and proceeded to bloody Michigan, and nearly had as many rebounds by herself, 24, as Michigan’s entire team, 26.
