“The 3rd best player on her team”: Appreciate
Angel Reese’s offensive struggles in “UGLY” First Round victory

Angel Reese and the LSU Tigers women’s basketball team survive another day in the NCAA Tournament.

This victory comes after the team lost the 2024 SEC championship game to South Carolina with a 79-72 final score.

Throughout this season, Reese has been a key asset on Kim Mulkey’s offensive arsenal on the court.

But during their First-Round game against the Rice Owls, Angel Reese who has a $1.8 million valuation (as per On3), struggled to put up the offensive performance that she is known for.

The defending national champions may be off to a successful start in this year’s NCAA Tournament, but Reese will have to find her rhythm and continue scoring points in abundance once again Following the victory against Rice, fans took to social media to share their opinions on the 21-year-old’s performance.

One fan even went on to comment:

“Angel Reese is the 3rd best player on her team. She can rebound her a** off but shawty aint like that.”

Here are a few more reactions to the Bayou Barbie’s First Round game in the NCAA Tournament.

If I’m a WNBA GM right now, Angel Reese just fell out of the 1st draft for me watching this game. Angel is a role player meaning she can’t do it all. She excels with posting up strong, using her quickness & strongly rebounding the basketball.

Stop trying to prove versatility.

Angel Reese had a bad offensive game but those 19 rebounds were clutch today and Winning in March is all that matters not stats. We gotta be better w turnovers

Angel Reese just went 1-7 with 19 boards she was just missing and getting the rebound

The #LSU Womens Basketball sucked 2day. they should have easily won by double digits but didnt. If it wasn't for the free throws, they would have lost. Angel Reese makes me think she didnt want 2 b there. There're 2 many turnovers for a team hyped as much as they are. Terrible

Angel Reese went 1-7 but she made it look so good. She brought so much energy to her team in that game. With the attention they put on her if her teammates go crazy they can easily repeat!

Angel Reese is so overrated

Angel Reese goes 1-7 from the field against Rice in the NCAA Tournament and people are still gonna act like she’s the next Lisa Leslie or something

Don’t get me wrong she’s a very good player but she’s also very overrated
