LSU women's basketball, Angel Reese, blown out by Colorado: fans roast team

LSU women's basketball suffers a surprising loss to Colorado, leading to Twitter roasting and questions about their ability to bounce back.

The 2023 NCAA season started off on a rough note for Angel Reese and No. 1 LSU women's basketball. In a surprising turn of events, No. 20 Colorado women's basketball pulled off a 92-78 win over LSU, thanks to a strong second-half performance.

The sports world was quick to react, with one Twitter user speculating on how Angel Reese would react if a Colorado player started shadowing her on the court. The rest of the sports world promptly roasted Angel Reese and LSU women's basketball after their opening-night loss.

The trio of Frida Formann, Aaronette Vonleh, and Jaylyn Sherrod combined for an impressive 70 points for Colorado women's basketball, overshadowing Angel Reese's double-double performance of 15 points and 12 rebounds. The difference in three-point field goals also played a significant role in Colorado's victory, with LSU struggling to convert from beyond the arc.

However, it's important to remember that this is just the first game of the NCAA season. Kim Mulkey and the LSU women's basketball team will have the opportunity to regroup and bounce back in their upcoming game against Queens women's basketball.

The question on everyone's mind is whether Angel Reese and LSU women's basketball can recover from their initial setback. Angel Reese made a strong impression in her first year with LSU, setting a new NCAA record with 34 double-doubles and earning SEC All-Defensive and First-Team All-SEC honors. Her performance ultimately led LSU women's basketball to their first national title.

As defending champions in women's college basketball, LSU women's basketball faces high expectations. It remains to be seen whether they can silence the naysayers and reclaim their winning form in the games to come.
