LSU Vs. Iowa, And The NCAAW's Great Explosion (johnwilmeswords on the new stars of March Madness)
There is a tired ongoing discourse, started Sunday, about Angel Reese taunting Caitlin Clark as her LSU Tigers defeated Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes, for the 2023 NCAA Women’s Basketball title. Reese, like every basketball player, can express herself however she likes. And yes, there is much hypocrisy amongst those who berate Reese while failing to note Clark’s own brashlytheatrics—and you don’t need a PhD to note said inconsistency as racial in nature. It is, and that’s unfortunate.
The night before, for instance, the San Diego State men’s team defeated Florida Atlantic with a thrilling Final Four buzzer beater. The player who hit it, though—Lamont Butler—is not a household name for it, and he is probably never going to be, while Clark and Reese are well on their way. They are fresh avatars for cultural anxieties and triumphs, lead characters in a story that sports has not yet told. Ratings recordsby fans eager to see it. And these women are merely 20 years old.
Reese, who is empowered by the loudness of LSU head coach Kim Mulkey but who is also like this anyway, finds modesty foolish, and lets everyone know that she owns the paint. She is from Baltimore, where few have ever sought virtue in downplaying their own greatness. Her footwork is precise and devastating, and she is nearly impossible to box out.
