With LSU up 55-49 late in the third quarter, Reese drew a foul from Boldyreva, causing the MTSU center to pick up her fifth and final foul.
As Boldyreva left the court, Reese smiled and waved goodbye, an iconic March Madness moment that got the LSU fans.
Despite the drama surrounding Angel Reese’s taunt, she had a commendable performance in the game, finishing with 20 points and 11 rebounds, recording her 14th-straight double-double.
Against resilient Middle Tennessee, LSU clawed back from a halftime deficit of four points and a daunting nine-point second-half lag, rallied for an 83-56 victory, and punched their ticket to the Sweet 16.

Despite having only scored eight points until that point, Reese decided to heed Mulkey’s advice, and it paid off – on the next LSU offensive possession, Reese made a no-look wraparound pass to Aneesah Morrow, who finished the layup and put the Tigers up 45-43.
From there, LSU outscored MTSU 38-13 to clinch the 83-56 victory and secure a spot in the Sweet 16.
“I was just doing whatever I could to just help the team, getting steals, getting in passing lanes, and helping my point guard,” Reese said.
Star forward scored 12 of her 20 points during LSU’s closing stretch, securing her 14th straight double-double with 11 rebounds.
The win puts LSU one step closer to a potential rematch with Iowa Hawkeyes in the Elite Eight, with the team set to face the winner of Creighton and UCLA in the Sweet 16.
