LSU's Angel Reese set to make comeback after 4-game absence

LSU star forward Angel Reese is set to return to the lineup after missing four games for undisclosed reasons. Coach Kim Mulkey confirmed Reese's return, stating that it is a boost for the team and not just for the upcoming game against Virginia Tech. Reese's absence has not been publicly explained, but she has posted on social media asking people not to believe everything they read. LSU has gone undefeated in Reese's absence, but they suffered a season-ending injury to sophomore Sa'Myah Smith. Junior transfer Aneesah Morrow has stepped up in Reese's absence, scoring high points in recent games. LSU will face Virginia Tech in a rematch of the 2023 national semifinal.
