By: Lynlee Crouch & Katelyn Ripley
We've all heard the names Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark but do we all know about the feud between these two miraculous players? Let's recap back to last April to the final game of the NCAA women's tournament.
LSU (Louisiana State University) and Iowa (Iowa University) played in the final game of the NCAA women's basketball tournament. It was a tough game and the Hawkeyes tried their best but came out short with only 85 points. LSU on the other hand won against Iowa, a decent playing team. LSU racked up the points and ended the game with 102 points to end a wonderful season. That last game made a tough impact on the Hawkeyes. After a tough game though Angel Reese wasn't helping the situation. Caitlin Clark is a player who has broken many amazing records. Angel Reese holding up her left hand pointing to her ring finger taunted Caitlin.
Despite the hard loss in the following season Iowa worked hard. The 2023-2024 season was a good season for both teams but then the tournament came to the elite eight teams. After a win for the Hawkeyes and the LSU Tigers the elite eight games were finalized and teams were put into place. On April 1st, 2024 the feuding couple came back for a rematch. “I wanted Iowa to win because they're a big 10 team,” said Maggie,” and I knew it would be a good game.” A good game was Caitlin Clark racked up the points with 41 points and 12 assists creating a double-double which isn't hard for her.
Angel Reese also did pretty well with 17 points and played a total of 36 minutes throughout the entire game. Both the players did phenomenal and tried their best although LSU didnt win they still did great. So are these 2 iconic players feuding we may never know. But i think these players are playing the game and having fun while doing it.
