LSU’s Angel Reese has admitted she’s ‘bothered’ by the suggestion that Iowa would be invited to the White House – and may skip the visit herself as a result.

The Lady Tigers defeated the Hawkeyes 102-85 on Sunday in Dallas, and First Lady Jill Biden – who was in the stands – later floated the idea of Iowa joining the champs in DC.

And while that notion appeared to be shot down by her husband, President Joe Biden on Tuesday, it’s struck a nerve with Reese nonetheless.

Reese, who was honored as Most Outstanding Player, on Monday tweeted a link to a story on Jill Biden´s remarks. ‘A JOKE,’ Reese wrote, along with three crying-laughing emojis.

And she didn’t give a firm answer when asked by former NFL receiver Brandon Marshall if she’d attend the White House visit while speaking on I Am Athlete’s ‘Paper Route.’

‘We’re gonna see,’ Reese said. ‘I don’t know.’

‘If we were to lose, we would not be getting invited to the White House. Remember she made a comment about how both teams should be invited because of sportsmanship. I’m like, ‘Are you saying that because of what I did?’

 ‘Stuff like that bothers me because you are a woman at the end of the day, white, black, Mexican, it doesn’t matter. You’re supposed to be standing behind us before anything.’

Reese ignited controversy towards the end of the national championship when she taunted her opponents, mimicking the ‘you can’t see me’ gesture Caitlin Clark did earlier in the tournament and pointing to her ring finger.

Nonetheless, Clark said Tuesday that Reese shouldn’t be criticized, and hit out against the idea of Iowa going to the White House after she scored 30 points in the title-game loss.

‘I don’t think runner-ups usually go to the White House,’ she said on ESPN’s Outside the Lines. ‘I think LSU should enjoy that moment for them.’

President Biden tweeted Tuesday that LSU and Connecticut ‘showed us the best of what this country can be,’ in a message that seemed to imply Iowa would not be invited after all.

‘We can all learn a lot from watching these champions compete,’ the president said, ‘and I look forward to welcoming them at each of their White House visits.’

Following LSU´s victory, coach Kim Mulkey said she would go to the White House if the team, the Tigers, was invited.

There was no immediate comment from Connecticut – the men’s champion – but the team has made the trip to the White House after winning the NCAA title game in prior years.

Vanessa Valdivia, a spokesperson for Jill Biden, said the First Lady was excited by watching the women’s game and meant no disrespect to LSU by suggesting a White House invite for Iowa.

‘Her comments in Colorado were intended to applaud the historic game and all women athletes,’ Valdivia tweeted Tuesday. ‘She looks forward to celebrating the LSU Tigers on their championship win at the White House.’
