The women’s college basketball season got off to a surprising start Monday night, with No. 20 Colorado upsetting the defending national champion, No. 1 LSU, 92-78, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
LSU’s championship run behind star forward Angel Reese raised the program’s profile, and the stars were out for their first game at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Series. That included legendary LSU alum Shaquille O’Neal and current WNBA star Candace Parker, who served as an analyst for the TNT broadcast.
After the game, O’Neal and Parker visited Colorado’s locker room to show the Buffaloes respect following their impressive victory.
