LSU basketball star Angel Reese says she will visit the White House with her team, just days after saying that she wouldn't.
Louisiana State University star Angel Reese said she will visit the White House with her LSU team, just days after saying that she wouldn’t. “Just going back on it, you don’t get that experience ever,” Reese said in an interview with ESPN on Friday. “I know my team probably wants to go for sure, and my coaches are supportive of that, so I’m going to do what’s best for the team. And if they would like to go, we decide we’re going to go, then we’re going to go.
On Wednesday, the school’s athletics department said they would “certainly accept an invitation.” Speaking on Monday, Biden congratulated both teams on their performance in Sunday’s national championship game, as well as specifically highlighting Iowa’s sportsmanship. “Last night, I attended the NCAA women’s basketball championship,” said Biden, while speaking at an event at the Colorado State Capitol in Denver. “So I know we’ll have the champions come to the White House, we always do.
