LSU's Angel Reese Absent for Game Against Southeastern Louisiana

LSU forward Angel Reese was not with the team for their game against Southeastern Louisiana, following her benching in the previous game. Coach Kim Mulkey refused to provide further details on Reese's absence, stating that she is a part of the team and they hope to see her back soon. Reese, the Most Outstanding Player of the 2023 women's NCAA tournament, has been a key player for LSU, helping them reach the Final Four and win their first-ever national title last season. The Tigers had high expectations for this season with the addition of top transfers and recruits but started with a loss before winning their next three games.
