Angel Reese graduates from LSU

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - The Bayou Barbie is officially LSU alumni.

Angel Reese, former LSU Women’s Basketball star and now a rookie in the WNBA, graduated from Louisiana State University on Friday, May 17.

Reese earned her degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with concentrations and minors in Communication Studies, Leadership Development and Psychology.

In a post on X Saturday morning, the rookie shared several graduation photos along with a caption that read, “So now what? what was said? oh okay that’s what i thought. I graduated from THE LOUSIANA STATE UNIVERSITY IN 4 YEARS ON TIME ... I thought somebody without a degree said sum.”

Reese spent two seasons with the Tigers and helped lead them to their first national championship.

In those two seasons, LSU Athletics called Reese unstoppable. She earned All-America honors both seasons. She scored in double figures during every game of her LSU career and recorded 61 double-doubles, including a NCAA record 34 double-doubles through the 2022-23 season that ended with the Tigers hoisting the national championship trophy.

Reese went on to be drafted No. 7 overall by the Chicago Sky and began her WNBA career on Wednesday with 12 points and seven rebounds. Angel and the Sky will take on Dallas on Saturday at 7 p.m. CT on NBA TV.
