Angel Reese was nicknamed “Bayou Barbie” during her time at LSU. Reese led the LSU Tigers to their first NCAA women’s basketball title in 2023 and secured the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player award.

Reese expressed her reason for declaring for the WNBA draft during an interview with Vogue in April 2024.

"I've done everything I wanted to in college," Reese told Vogue about her decision. "I've won a national championship, I've gotten (SEC) Player of the Year, I've been an All-American. My ultimate goal is to be a pro and to be one of the greatest basketball players to play. I feel like I'm ready."

During her final season with LSU, Reese was awarded SEC Player of the Year after she set an NCAA record by putting up 34 double-doubles in a single season.

Angel Reese expresses frustration over officiating in LSU's Elite Eight loss to UCLA

Reese echoed the sentiments of several Tigers fans after controversial calls went against LSU during crucial moments. One of the pivotal moments came when LSU’s Sa’Myah Smith got into foul trouble early in the game, as her absence opened the door for UCLA to take control in the paint and build a double-digit lead.

With just over three minutes remaining and LSU trailing by only three, a questionable foul was called on Smith. That gave UCLA’s Lauren Betts an opportunity at the free-throw line, where she made one of two shots to extend the lead to four.

The most disputed call came shortly after a loose ball appeared to go out of bounds off UCLA’s Kiki Rice. However, officials ruled that it touched LSU’s Kailyn Gilbert. Video replays appeared to have suggested otherwise, which fueled the frustration from Reese and fans alike.

The loss marked the second consecutive year that LSU failed to reach the Final Four despite being one of the top contenders.
