This season, the biggest news surrounding LSU women’s basketball has not been who is playing for the Tigers, but rather, who is not.
For two games now, LSU has been without the services of star forward Angel Reese. After abruptly spending the entire second half of the Tigers’ 109–79 win over Kent State on Nov. 14 on the bench, Reese was absent for her team's wins over Southeastern Louisiana Friday and Texas Southern Monday.
The college basketball world has been left questioning what has happened to Reese, who became a household name seven short months ago during LSU's run to the national title. Tigers coach Kim Mulkey, however, remained reluctant to tip her hand Monday night.
