Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese was not happy following her game against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever for several reasons.

Angel Reese had to deal with foul trouble all game long as she had to endure a 91-83 loss to Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever on Sunday. She was also assessed a Flagrant 1 for a brutal hit she delivered to Clark’s head.

During her postgame press conference, Reese had some strong words about the officiating.

When asked about the flagrant foul, Reese said the referees “affected the game a lot tonight.”

“It was a basketball play. I can’t control the refs. They affected the game obviously a lot today,” she told reporters.

“I’m always going for the ball. Y’all are going to play that clip 20 times before Monday.”

Reese then accused Caitlin Clark of getting preferential treatment from the officials.

“I guess some people got a special whistle,” Reese said.

In the contest, Angel Reese finished the game with 11 points, 13 rebounds, and five assists as she tied the WNBA rookie record with her sixth consecutive double-double. Unfortunately, she had a rough day from the field as she shot 4-of-13 from the field and was whistled for five fouls. She was also a force on defense, recording two steals and a blocked shot, per ESPN.

For alomst a year, Iowa Hawkeyes superstar Caitlin Clark had to sit on the fact that the LSU Tigers got the best of her and her teammates in the National Championship game.

On Monday, Caitlin Clark got a chance to enact some revenge.

Leading up to the contest, the media billed the Elite 8 matchup as a revenge matchup for Caitlin Clark against a team that has stopped hr from reaching her ultimate goal.

Clark was asked after the contest whether she was out for revenge and she did not agree with that sentiment.

“To be honest, no,” Clark said after the game, via On3.com.

“I feel like we prepared for this game. We focus on Iowa, we do what Iowa does, and we’ll come out on top.”

Clark further added that head coach Lisa Bluder told them to focus on what they do best and not get caught up in the media distractions and what they were trying to bill the game as.

 

“It’s not about last year,” Clark added. “You worry too much about the past, you’re going to get caught up in that. It’s about being present, being where your feet are.”

Last season, LSU defeated Iowa 102-85 when then-junior forward Angel Reese was named the NCAA Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player in the victory. This year in the Elite 8, Clark had 41 points and 12 assists as she would not be denied for a second-straight season.

The second-ranked Hawkeyes topped No. 8 LSU, 94-87, in an NCAA women’s basketball tournament regional final Monday night at MVP Arena.

Iowa will now advance to the Final Four for the second straight season and have yet another intense matchup on the horizon as they get ready to face the University of Connecticut Huskies, who also won on Monday against the USC Trojans.
