LSU’s women’s basketball team is back in the Elite Eight after a hard-fought 80-73 win over No. 2 seed NC State in the Sweet 16. Unlike their blowout victory over the Wolfpack in November, this one was a battle. The Tigers had to grind it out, relying on offensive rebounds and late-game execution to punch their ticket.
As the final buzzer sounded, Angel Reese wasted no time reacting to Aneesah Morrow’s dominant performance, posting a three-word appreciation on social media: “Nees The BEAST”

Reese’s tweet was a clear nod to Aneesah Morrow, who absolutely dominated with 30 points and 16 rebounds. It wasn’t just a great performance—it was historic. Morrow and Reese are now the only SEC players to record a 30/15 game in the NCAA Tournament since 2000.
Meanwhile, Flau’jae Johnson struggled. The sophomore guard couldn’t get anything going offensively, finishing with just three points on 1-of-8 shooting. She also took a hard fall while chasing a loose ball, adding to her tough night.
Reese’s tweet felt like more than just praise for Morrow—it looked like a statement. With her and Flau’jae not exactly on the best terms, was this Reese picking a side? If so, Morrow’s monster performance made it an easy choice.
Stay tuned as this story continues to unfold—because this LSU drama is far from over.
