WATCH: $1.7 million NIL-valued Angel Reese & Co have perfect reaction to Louisville's NCAA tournament seeding

LSU's Angel Reese and coach Kim Mulkey reacted to the NCAA tournament seeding on Sunday.

While LSU will meet the Rice Owls, the Louisville Cardinals will take on the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders at Baton Rouge on March 22.

A win for LSU and Louisville would set the stage for a clash between the Tigers and Cardinals, LSU star Hailey Van Lith's former team.

On hearing the seeding, the $1.7 million NIL-valued (per On3) Angel Reese and Mulkey pointed at Lith as her teammates cheered.

Here's the video:

LSU could meet UCLA in the Sweet Sixteen before taking on the Iowa Hawkeyes once again in the Elite Eight.

After last year's title game clash between the two, which set the viewership record (9.9 million) for women's college basketball games, fans are eagerly awaiting a rematch.

Will Angel Reese stay at LSU for one final year?

The senior forward can use her COVID-19 eligibility year and stay at LSU for one more season, just like Paige Bueckers did. She could also follow Caitlin Clark and Cameron Brink in declaring for the 2024 WNBA draft.

For now, there has been no announcement from Angel Reese. In a recent podcast appearance, the 6-3 forward shared that she wants to play as long as she can, just like NBA superstar LeBron James.

Talking about what investment she would like to make in herself, Reese said (via Riser Diaries Podcast):

"Probably my nutrition, just being able to train I mean, look at LeBron James. He spends millions of dollars on his body, and he's playing at a very older age, and you would expect right, so I want to be able to play as long as I can.

"I mean, college has done a great job for me being able to have these things for free around here," she added. "But sometimes I do need to fly out and I need or I need someone to fly here to work with me and work me out or do certain things like that."

Regardless of her decision to stay or move to the WNBA, it seems like Angel Reese is prepared to do everything it takes to ensure that she has a long career.
