After LSU star Angel Reese earned Naismith National Player of the Week honors on Monday, she issued a comment that seemingly signaled she had little appetite for continued negativity from rival fans.
“Have a GREAT day to LSU fans and LSU fans only for supporting us through 3 games in 7 days!” she wrote on X, replicating a stance she’s taken all season.
The 21-year-old has played an integral role in a six-game winning run in the SEC, and LSU is now in strong position to earn at least a No. 3 seed at the NCAA Tournament.
In a 81-58 victory over Texas A&M last Monday, Reese recorded 13 points and 10 rebounds before registering a monster 25 points and 20 rebounds in a 71-66 win against Auburn on Thursday.
The forward backed up that performance against Tennessee by grabbing another 16 rebounds to go with 11 points in a 75-60 win. Reese has secured at least 15 rebounds in three successive games has continued to be a double-double machine under head coach Kim Mulkey.
Against the Volunteers, the Baltimore native surpassed 2,000 career points in the NCAA, which made her just the sixth player in LSU history to achieve the feat. She is also the fifth active player to have both 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds. Reese averages the most points and rebounds in the SEC at 19.1 and 12.9 respectively.

Should she end the season still at the top of those respective leaderboards, the NCAA champion could join Wendy Scholtens as the only player to do so in consecutive seasons.
Tennessee is a very physical team, which made it difficult for the Reese and the Tigers. However, head coach Kim Mulkey prepared her troops for what was to come and explained why Reese was made to work so hard for her buckets.
Reese is one of college basketball’s top players and she is projected to be a first-round pick in the WNBA Draft. Whether she enters the WNBA Draft in 2024 or 2025 remains to be seen, as she can choose to play a fifth and final year in college, as does Caitlin Clark. When LSU takes on Kentucky on March 3, it will be the team’s Senior Day.
The Tigers announced they would honor Reese, and the player seemed to suggest she would decide on her future around the same time. “Should I stay, should I go? I don’t know,” she wrote on social media recently, further intensifying the speculation around where she will play her basketball next season.
