Angel Reese has become a household name. Reese has been the most talked about athlete in sports media this week. With her LSU Tigers cutting down the nets in the Women's Final Four and her on-the-court celebrations. However, what has been lost in all the commotion this week has been her play. Reese earned MVP of the Final Four, and rightfully so. LSU was the better team in the National Championship. But Iowa may still be getting the same accolades.
First Lady Jill Biden reportedly wants to extend a White House visit to LSU and Iowa. A White House visit normally is only extended to the champions of said sport. However, Biden believes that both participants should enjoy the honorary visit. Word of the potential joint visit quickly spread across social media. With LSU's star expressing her opinion on the situation. In a tweet on the situation, Reese stated the joint visit would be "A JOKE."
Angel Reese Has Become A College Basketball Star
This would be the first time that a losing team would join a champion during the White House visit. While the invitation hasn't been extended to Iowa, one would assume the Hawkeyes would not accept anyway. The LSU program deserves its roses. The Tigers are the superior team in the women's college basketball landscape. Angel Reese and her team deserve the White House moment on a pedestal alone. Not with the team they defeated. With all the discussion on the situation, the invitation to Iowa will likely never make its way to the team. Probably better that it doesn't.
There have been many off-the-court stories hitting headlines from the Women's Final Four. However, we can't take away from the product on the court. These women outshined the Men's Final Four. From South Carolina to Caitlin Clark, the games were entertaining. Ultimately, LSU and Reese have earned their moment to soak up the Sun.
