"LSU Women's Basketball Faces Angel Reese's Absence at Cayman Islands Classic"
LSU women's basketball players Angel Reese and Kateri Poole did not play in the team's game against Niagara at the Cayman Islands Classic. Reese has not played since being benched at halftime of a game on November 14, with coach Kim Mulkey citing it as a "coach's decision." The players' whereabouts were not disclosed, but it is believed that they did not accompany the team to the Cayman Islands. Mulkey had previously stated that Reese was still part of the team, but did not provide further details. LSU is scheduled to play Virginia next before returning home to face No. 9 Virginia Tech.
