Angel Reese takes taunting of Caitlin Clark to Twitter

Angel Reese has had a lot to cheer about over the last few hours. First, she helped LSU to their first-ever national championship with a 102-85 win over Iowa. Then, she was named the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Tournament after putting up big-time numbers for the Tigers throughout March Madness.

Even so, the talk around Reese and her teammates has been the taunting they exhibited towards the end of their victory, specifically towards Hawkeyes star Caitlin Clark. Reese doesn’t seem too worried about it, though, as she’s now continued the trolling on Twitter by posting the infamous photo of her celebration today in Dallas.

Reese’s teasing was multi-faceted. The spotlight of it all was the ‘John Cena’-esque jeer right at Clark after she had done the same thing against Louisville. However, she also pointed to her ring finger several times as the clock winded down to the impending win.

“I was waiting. When I tell you I was waiting, I was waiting,” Reese said postgame about the moment.

“Caitlin Clark is a hell of a player for sure, but I don’t take disrespect lightly,” Reese said. “And she disrespected Alexis (Morris) and my girls. South Carolina, they’re still my SEC girls too. But y’all not gonna disrespect them either. I wanted to pick her pocket but I had a moment at the end of the game and I was just in my bag. I was in my moment.”

Part of this is unfortunate as the conversation around the game has focused more on the officiating and the taunting rather than the performance. Still, Reese seems more than okay with it considering she as well as her team got the upper hand this afternoon.

Reese was a pivotal part of the Tigers’ victory, finishing with 15 points and 10 rebounds. The performance marked her 34th double-double this season, setting a Division 1 record. She was even awarded a crown to wear after being named the Most Outstanding Player for the NCAA Tournament.

The 102 points scored by the Tigers were the most ever in a championship game. They finished the game with incredibly efficient shooting numbers. LSU shot 37-of-69 (53.6%) from the field and 10-of-16 (62.5%) from three-point range.
