In sports, there are moments that leave a lasting impact, forever shaping an athlete’s career and for Angel Reese, that moment came during the 2023 NCAA women’s basketball championship when her LSU Tigers faced off against Caitlin Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes.
What started as a competitive battle turned into a career-defining encounter, with Reese‘s actions on the court igniting a nationwide discussion.
The game, played on April 2, 2023, saw Reese‘s LSU team secure a commanding 102-85 victory over Iowa. Reese, named the tournament’s MVP, played a pivotal role in delivering LSU’s first women’s national title.
But beyond the accolades, what truly resonated with fans was the viral moment where Reese pointed to her finger, signaling where her championship ring would soon rest, right in front of Clark.
“My life literally just changed from that game,” Reese told WSJ Magazine in a recent interview.
