ALBANY, N.Y. — Following her team’s Elite Eight loss to Iowa, Angel Reese reflected on the difficulties she’s encountered since LSU won the title in 2023.
Reese led LSU to a national championship last season, and after that, she became a celebrity. Fame hasn’t been easy.
“I've been through so much,” she said after LSU's season-ending 94-87 loss to Iowa on Monday. “I've seen so much. I've been attacked so many times, death threats, I've been sexualized, I've been threatened, I've been so many things, and I've stood strong every single time.”
Reese also expressed her desire to stay strong for her teammates and not let them see her down.
