Angel Reese thinks First Lady’s plan for hosting NCAA Champion is super lame

Angel Reese is not a fan of Jill Biden’s plan to host the champion of the NCAA Women’s College Basketball Final.

Angel Reese and the LSU Tigers are NCAA champions. No one can take that away from them, no matter how hard the trolls on Twitter try.

The Tigers took down a really competitive Iowa team lead by Caitlin Clark. Though Iowa was ranked a seed higher in the tournament, LSU came out on top, beating the Hawkeyes by 17 points in the national championship game.

Despite that convincing victory, the First Lady of the United States wants to grant Iowa a moral victory and have them tag along with LSU during the White House visit that the champion normally gets after winning a national title.

Angel Reese does not take kindly to First Lady’s moral victory White House invite

Angel Reese, for one, hates that idea, taking to Twitter to call it a joke:

"“I know we’ll have the champions come to the White House; we always do. So, we hope LSU will come,” she said. “But, you know, I’m going to tell Joe I think Iowa should come too, because they played such a good game,” Biden said."

Reese and Clark were the main characters of the tournament, with Reese calling back to Clark’s John Cena “you can’t see me” hand-waving impersonation from earlier in the tournament as the title game was ticking down. Clark pulled that taunt out against South Carolina in the Final Four game, and Reese gave it right back to her in the title game.

Reese had a double-double, and Clark scored 30 points. Both played spectacularly, but Reese’s team was undeniably the best of the night and therefore, the tourney. They, frankly, earned the right to talk trash and to get all the flowers that come with being champions.

This is why Biden’s invitation, even if it’s in jest, just doesn’t make sense. The reward of a White House visit is for winning the whole thing. Not for coming up in second place. Look, I don’t want to go all, “Participation trophies are ruining our children,” here, but this is Division I basketball we’re talking about!

All of a sudden, a little hint of cockiness from Reese after helping lead her team to the highest achievement possible, and everyone has gone all soft?

Hopefully, LSU goes to the White House. If Iowa is invited, so be it, but it destroys the whole meaning of it if the runner-up gets an invite, too.
