Angel Reese seemed to blow off some steam about the officiating in Sunday’s NCAA women’s championship game between Iowa and South Carolina.
Taking to her X account, the LSU All-American wrote: “I see how this game is about to go smh.”
Reese posted the message nearly one hour into South Carolina’s eventual 87-75 win over Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes, who beat LSU in the Elite Eight last Monday to advance to the Final Four.

It came around the same time some Iowa fans weren’t happy about the refs’ foul calls.
However, it’s impossible to know what exactly Reese was referring to.

The 2023-24 SEC Player of the Year did seem frustrated with officiating in the NCAA women’s title game in an exchange with WNBA champ Natasha Cloud.
“I’m trying to refrain from tweeting about some of these calls,” Cloud wrote, to which Reese replied: “I’ve typed up so many things and just hit delete about 6 times already.”

Cloud then responded with: “Frieeeeeend we gotta deal with these refs too [laughing emoji] that’s the only thing saving them.”
Some critics thought it was reminiscent of the officiating in Iowa’s 71-69 win over UConn in their Final Four matchup on Friday.
Many weren’t happy with a controversial foul call on UConn forward Aaliyah Edwards for an illegal screen — after she collided with Iowa guard Gabbie Marshall — with 3.9 seconds left in the game and the Huskies trailing by one.

Star UConn guard Paige Bueckers had a chance to extend their season on a bounce pass from Nika Muhl, but never got a shot up due to the whistle.
Bueckers, who had a phenomenal season after returning from an ACL injury, will return to UConn for her final year of eligibility.
Reese and Clark — the consensus No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft — will take their talents to the league.

Reese, who led the Lady Tigers to a championship over Iowa in last year’s title game, announced her career plans in a fashion photoshoot with Vogue after LSU’s season-ending loss to the Hawkeyes last week.
Clark will likely go to the Indiana Fever, who own the top pick in the draft, which will take place at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on April 15.
