Angel Reese continued her war against basketball referees by turning her anger to the NCAA as her LSU Tigers were eliminated by the UCLA Bruins in a tight 72-65 thriller on Sunday, March 30.
The third seed against the top seed, the winner was largely tipped to go all the way and win the national championship for their college and UCLA kept that dream alive as Baton Rouge tasted defeat.
LSU are still chasing the high Reese gave them in 2023 when she led her team to the NCAA title against Caitlin Clark‘s Iowa Hawkeyes, but have now fallen short in 2024 and 2025 in the Elite Eight stage.
As some eyes turn to Kim Mulkey to assess whether the 62-year-old is the right figurehead at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, the 22-year-old Chicago Sky star found issue elsewhere.
“These refs man smh,” Reese posted to X.com, formerly Twitter, meaning she’s now got problems with the officials in the WNBA, NCAA and Unrivaled League as she continues to put pressure on the sport.
Flau’jae Johnson stars as LSU lose
Despite the disappointment on the night, the LSU Tigers should walk off the basketball pretty proud of their accomplishments. Narrowly edged out by the top seed, they were hardly blown out of the water.
Statistically, not a lot split the teams. UCLA led field goal percentage by 0.9%, three-point conversions by 7.4% and trailed LSU by 11.9% in free throw percentage, lady luck was just on Mulkey‘s side.
A seven-point defeat to a side that has lost twice through 37 matches is nothing to be ashamed of, that’s just how the penny drops in professional sports and the likes of Flau’jae Johnson and Annesah Morrow did their college proud.
Johnson, as the guard, racked up an impressive 28 points, four assists and four rebounds on March 30, whilst Morrow added 15 points, seven rebounds and an assist as a forward.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the most dominant team of the decade, and the numbers prove it
The Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees are like the rock stars of Major League Baseball (MLB), two teams with a history so big it's hard to top. Since moving from Brooklyn to LA in 1958, the Dodgers have been a force to reckon with, and now in 2025, they're gearing up for their 23rd World Series (26th pennants)-trailing only the Yankees' whopping 41 appearances, according to MLB.com. That's a pretty cool stat, showing they've been in the game for the long haul, racking up eight World Series wins, with their first coming back in 1955 as the Brooklyn Dodgers. Tonight, they're bringing that old-school vibe into a modern era, hitting their fifth World Series in the last nine years-all during the Wild Card era that kicked off in 1994, per ESPN. It's a sign they know how […]
4 Takeaways From the Dodgers’ NLCS Game 4 Win Over the Brewers
Another dominant pitching performance – and a three home run game – by the same superstar no less. That's certainly a way to earn a World Series berth. Behind a Shohei Ohtani performance for the ages, the Dodgers swept the Brewers in the National League Championship Series on Friday with a 5-1 win in Game 4 and are headed back to the World Series. Here are my takeaways:1. Oh My, Ohtani!A year ago, he became the first Major League Baseball player ever to hit 50 homers and steal 50 bases in a season. This year, he became the first player ever to hit 50 homers and record 50 strikeouts as a pitcher in a single season. With Shohei Ohtani, history is never far away. Friday night was no exception, as baseball’s unicorn illustrated what is quite possibly the most extraordinary single-game performance of […]

MLB playoffs 2025: John Schneider says Mariners fans ‘should take a look in the mirror’ after George Springer boos
A 95-mph sinker from Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo struck George Springer on his knee in the seventh inning of the Toronto Blue Jays' 6-2 defeat in Game 5 of the ALCS on Friday. Springer suffered a right-knee contusion, according to Blue Jays manager John Schneider, though Schneider noted that the four-time All-Star's X-rays were negative."George is about as tough as they come," Schneider said. "I think he'll have to really, really be hurting to not be in the lineup on Sunday. So we'll see how he is."AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSchneider then called out Mariners fans who booed after Springer rose to his feet and tried to stay in the game. Springer walked to first with a significant limp before Joey Loperfido ultimately replaced him as a pinch runner."I know this is an awesome atmosphere to play in. And it's really, really cool […]
