As the NCAA Tournament draws near, LSU standout Angel Reese has unexpectedly found herself in the spotlight on social media platform X for an unusual reason.
Reese, who propelled LSU to a national championship victory in 2023, recently addressed the presence of AI-generated images purportedly depicting her on social media. Expressing her dismay, Reese labeled these images as “crazy and weird AF.”
In a subsequent tweet, Reese reiterated her discomfort, emphasizing her youth and disavowing any association with the fabricated images.
Despite the unsettling situation, Reese’s fans swiftly rallied behind her, offering words of encouragement and support. One fan acknowledged the unfortunate aspect of her newfound stardom, advising her to remain grounded. Another reassured Reese that detractors are attempting to undermine her success but emphasized her potential for continued growth.
Just two weeks prior, Reese was honored with the title of SEC Player of the Year, underscoring her stellar performance on the court. With impressive averages of 19.0 points and 13.1 rebounds per game this season, Reese has firmly established herself as a force to be reckoned with.
As the Tigers prepare for the NCAA Tournament, Reese remains focused on leading her team to back-to-back national championships. LSU is slated to face Rice in the first round of the tournament this Friday afternoon, with tipoff scheduled for 4 p.m. ET.
