Iowa star Caitlin Clark has leapt to the defence of Angel Reese after the shooting guard’s on-court antics in LSU’s NCAA Championship victory over the Hawkeyes on Sunday night.
Reese has faced criticism for taunting Clark with the infamous John Cena ‘you can’t see me’ gesture in the closing minutes of the Tigers' 102-85 win. But Clark, who herself was seen ribbing opponents with the same gesture in the earlier rounds of the tournament, defended Reese and put the altercation down to old fashioned competition.
“I don't think Angel should be criticised at all.” The 21-year-old told ESPN. "No matter what way it goes, she should never be criticised for what she did. I compete, she competed. “It was a super, super fun game. I think that's what's going to bring more people to our game”
