LSU women’s basketball, Angel Reese roasted after getting blown out by Colorado

Angel Reese and No. 1 LSU women's basketball got off to an inauspicious start in the 2023 NCAA season. No. 20 Colorado women's basketball's second-half surge propelled them to a surprising 92-78 win over LSU on Monday.

“I wonder how Angel Reese would react if one of the Colorado girls started following her around the court during the can't-see-me in her face,” @HeavensFX tweeted.

The trio of Frida Formann (27 points), Aaronette Vonleh (24 points), and Jaylyn Sherrod (19 points) combined for 70 points for Colorado women's basketball.

On the other hand, Angel Reese produced her usual double-double (15 points, 12 rebounds). She made just six of her 15 field-goal attempts.

The disparity in three-point field goals made the difference for Colorado women's basketball against LSU. Colorado made 10 of their 23 three-point field goal attempts. In contrast, LSU women's basketball converted just four of 10 from deep.

Nevertheless, it's just the first game of the NCAA season. Kim Mulkey and Co. will regroup against Queens women's basketball on Thursday.

Angel Reese eventually led LSU women's basketball to their first national title against Caitlin Clark and Iowa women's basketball.
