Few American sports rivalries between players this year have come under more scrutiny than the feud between LSU forward Angel Reese and Iowa guard Caitlin Clark.
Back on April 2, Reese led the Tigers to a 102–85 win over the Hawkeyes in the national championship in Dallas. Reese punctuated her 15-point, 10-rebound performance by gesturing toward her ring finger as the clock ran down, a gesture that earned praise and criticism across the country.
Despite the fallout from the gesture, Reese downplayed the notion of any residual animosity between Clark and herself at LSU's media day Thursday.
