Before Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese was a dominant force in the WNBA, she was breaking records and winning championships in college for the LSU Tigers. She and her teammates famously took down Caitlin Clark and Iowa during the 2023 National Championship Game, which catapulted Reese into being a polarizing figure.

Former LSU star Angel Reese’s homecoming in the Sky’s WNBA exhibition opener over the Brazilian national team was a smashing success.

While Reese was the center of attention Friday night, she wasn't the only player who suited up for Mulkey's Tigers on the Sky roster. Hailey Van Lith, who played the 2023-24 season at LSU, was recently drafted by the Sky. Van Lith put together a successful season at TCU before making the leap to the WNBA.
