LSU gears up to celebrate Angel Reese during their Senior Day festivities come March 3rd.
Thanks in large part to their all-star lineup, the Louisiana State University Lady Tigers are having a fantastic season. LSU’s success this season has been largely attributed to Angel Reese and Hailey Van Lith, who have helped the team finish 23-4.
On Senior Day, which falls on March 3rd during the Lady Tigers’ game against the Kentucky Wildcats, the team will honor Reese and Van Lith for their contributions. This game will mark the end of LSU’s regular season.

“I wanna leave my legacy as being unapologetically me. I want people to understand that they can play and be who they are while playing the game that they love,” Reese declared.
“Being able to see what I have done, what we’ve done, what LSU has done in just one year has been crazy.”

Following the 2021–22 NCAA Championship, Reese left the Maryland Terrapins to transfer to LSU in order to hone her skills under head coach Kim Mulkey. This was a wise choice because LSU won the championship.
