LSU dominated Iowa in the women’s national title game on Sunday, winning 102–85. Following the win, the Tigers earned an invitation to visit the White House, as all sports champions in the United States typically do.
However, after the game first lady Jill Biden said she also hoped the Hawkeyes would be invited since “they played such a good game,” while speaking in Colorado on Monday, via ESPN. This caused controversy in the college hoops world, especially after LSU star Angel Reese called the double invitation “a joke.”
The White House clarified on Tuesday, though, that only the Tigers are invited to visit following the national title.
