LSU star Angel Reese was not having any of Tennessee’s trash talk during a recent win over the Vols. After posting a double-double in the 75-60 victory, she was seen dishing it back to the UT bench.
Reese is never one to hold back her emotions on the floor, which makes many around the sport either love her or hate her. Unapologetically herself, she doesn’t care what you think.
The forward embraced the villain role in last year’s NCAA Tournament, mocking Caitlin Clark with her “You Can’t See Me” celebration in the championship game.
That viral moment, paired with an incredible string of six consecutive postseason double-doubles, gave her national recognition, which sparked a major boost in NIL opportunities.
This offseason, she landed deals with brands like Sports Illustrated Swim, Dre Beats, and Reebok.
She’s currently ranked 7th on the On3 NIL valuation standings, and is the top-rated women’s basketball earner. Reese has been able to flex that wealth in a number of ways, some of which include gifting gear to both the LSU men’s and women’s squads.
On Sunday, though, she flaunted in a different manner.

“Get your money up,” she appeared to yell in the direction of Tennessee players after the game. It was far from the only trash talk being dished out.
A clip surfaced from earlier in the contest where Vol players threw jabs with Angel Reese at the free throw line. She immediately shut it down with a quick “scoreboard” reply.
“How many points do you got?” she asked an opposing player. “What’s wrong with you?”
Reese would post her seventh straight double-double with 11 points and 15 boards. She also notched her 2,000th career point in the win.
