The battle to win the NCAA Women’s National Basketball Championship may have been between the LSU Tigers and Iowa Hawkeyes. However, for many, it was a personal match-up between the team’s two stars.
Iowa’s Caitlin Clark had been crowned the best player at college level. She was expected to lead the Hawkeyes to victory over LSU, despite the latter having only two defeats all season.
As it turned out, an Angel Reese-inspired LSU came out victorious 102-85. The shooting guard grabbed the headlines with her “you can’t see me” celebration in front of Clark. This mocked her ‘go-to’ one that she has used throughout the tournament.

Meanwhile, Clark has been left behind on Twitter. She has moved to 114,000 followers, after being 20,000 ahead of Reese just 24 hours ago.
It may be that the straight-talking, sassy vibe of Reese is winning the day, compared to Clark’s more ‘business-like’ approach to her social media.
Speaking at a press conference after the championship, Reese said that she won’t be keeping quiet about matters that she feels she needs to speak out about. She added that her gesturing towards Clark got more attention than it should have done.
Reese said: “I don’t fit in the box that y’all want me to be in. I’m too hood, I’m too ghetto, y’all told me that all year.
“When other people do it, y’all don’t say nothing. This was for the people that look like me,” Reese added.
She later wrote in a tweet: “and no I’M NOT KEEPING IT CUTE.”
