On a special day for the Louisiana State University women's basketball team, Senior Day, Angel Reese received a special escort for the game on Sunday, March 3. But it wasn't just any escort, it was none other than NBA Hall of Famer and LSU alumni, Shaquille O'Neal. Reese, one of the team's seniors, was proudly led onto the court by the iconic Shaq, who has become close with her over the years.
The game was a tribute to the team's seniors, Reese and Hailey Van Lith, as it could possibly be their last home game at the arena. Shaq, showing his support for Reese, even wore a black T-shirt with her name on it to the game. The moment was captured and shared on social media, with fans and followers expressing their admiration for the special bond between the two.
As Reese and her mother were introduced at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, Shaq walked out with them as a show of support. The TNT commentator's presence added even more excitement to the already buzzing atmosphere. The game itself was a success for Reese, as she scored 22 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, and made five blocks and three steals. But it wasn't just about the game, it was also about the overwhelming support from the fans.
The Associated Press reported that amidst the cheers and shouts for the players, there were also calls of "One more year!" being heard. This was due to the NCAA's allowance for players to opt for another year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Reese, however, has yet to make a decision and will only do so after the season ends. She expressed her love for LSU and the amazing fan base that has supported her throughout her time there.
With the regular season coming to an end, LSU is looking to make a strong run in the playoffs and defend their NCAA championship title. But before that, they have the SEC tournament in Greenville, South Carolina. As the No. 2 seed with a double bye, they are set to play in the quarterfinals on Friday, March 8. Reese, who is averaging 19 points and 13 rebounds, will be a key player in their quest for another championship.
Despite the uncertainty of her future, Reese remains focused on the present and giving her all for her team. And with the unwavering support from Shaq and the LSU community, she knows that no matter what happens, she will always have a special place in the hearts of her fans and the university.
