In the closing minutes, LSU pulled off a dramatic comeback to advance to the Elite Eight.

After trailing by five points with a little over four minutes to go, LSU went on a 14-4 run, scoring the game's final 10 points to knock off the NC State Wolfpack.

Angel Reese said of the victory on the X App. “Oh & that win was personal. THANK YA.”

The “personal” reference appears to refer to an incident in February when ESPN College Basketball Gameday broadcast from Raleigh, and an NC State fan held up a sign visible to viewers that said “Angel Reese Stinks.”

At the time, Angel responded.

In tonight’s game, Aneesah Morrow led all scorers with 30 points on 12-25 shooting and an astonishing 19 rebounds. Angel Reese said of Morrow’s performance on X, “Nees the Beast.” She added, “Me and Nees gon be killing each other for rebounds in the W.”

Other key contributors tonight included Sa’Myah Smith, who continues her NCAA Tournament surge with 21 points and 11 rebounds. Also impressive for the Tigers was Mikaylah Williams, who scored 19 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists.

Additional contributors for LSU include Kailyn Gilbert, who had 7 points off the bench.

LSU will next take on the winner of the Sweet 16 matchup between UCLA and Ole Miss. The game will be scheduled on Sunday. Flau’jae Johnson struggled throughout the game. She ended up shooting just 1 for 8 and scoring just three points.

Angel concludes her game tweets by simply saying, “Let’s Dance.”
