In a game that could be titled “How to Give Angel Reese a Cardiac Episode in Four Quarters,” the LSU Tigers narrowly clawed their way to a 68-67 victory over the Washington Huskies at the Baha Mar Hoops Pink Flamingo Championship. Forget “Geaux Tigers,” this was more like “Geaux to the ER.”
Former LSU star and current WNBA dynamo Angel Reese took to social media to celebrate the win—and maybe schedule a collective stress test for her beloved Tigers.
“GEAUX TIGERSSSS but PLEASE stop scaring me like thattttt😭,” Reese pleaded via X (formerly Twitter, for those still living in 2022).
The Game That Aged Fans a Decade
The matchup felt more like a psychological thriller than a basketball game. Washington seemed poised to steal LSU’s thunder, maintaining a comfortable 10-point lead in the third quarter and looking sharper than a freshly-sharpened number-two pencil. But LSU, clearly allergic to giving their fans a quiet night, pulled off a last-second comeback that was equal parts genius and pure chaos.
With one second left on the clock—yes, ONE second—Kailyn Gilbert decided she’d had enough of Washington’s antics. The Tigers’ guard delivered a layup so clutch it might as well have been sponsored by a wristwatch company. LSU snatched the win, leaving Washington stunned and LSU fans somewhere between euphoria and existential dread.
Cameron Brink: Angel Reese’s Biggest Hype Woman
While Reese is busy watching LSU games and trying not to lose her mind, she’s also balancing a lifestyle that screams, “Who needs sleep?” The Chicago Sky star is deep into her first WNBA offseason, juggling gym sessions, podcast recordings, fashion shows, and public appearances like she’s auditioning for a superhero movie.
Naturally, her fellow WNBA star Cameron Brink noticed Reese’s superhuman multitasking and dropped a glowing comment on Instagram: “She do it all.” No lies detected, Cameron. Reese’s IG post, titled “life lately,” featured a montage of her seemingly doing everything but resting.
What’s Next for LSU and Angel Reese?
As the Tigers celebrate their escape from the jaws of defeat and Angel Reese continues her quest to prove she can dominate both on and off the court, one thing is clear: these athletes are here to keep the drama alive. LSU’s first game away from home nearly turned into a disaster movie, but hey, a win’s a win.
Reese, meanwhile, is setting the stage for her second WNBA season in 2025. If her first year was the appetizer, fans are bracing themselves for a five-course meal of dominance, flair, and possibly more Instagram-worthy moments.
Until then, LSU might want to work on keeping their games slightly less heart attack-inducing—or at least send Angel Reese a stress ball.
