In the midst of this recent season of women's college basketball, the mothers of two then-LSU stars engaged in a social media spat, with one's academic performance coming under fire. The dispute arose while Angel Reese was absent from the team, leading to speculation of a suspension that was never confirmed. Reese's mother, Angel Webb Reese, took aim at her daughter's teammate at the time, Flau’jae Johnson, for her grammar, prompting Johnson's mother, Kia Brooks, to hit back on Instagram.Brooks criticized Angel Reese's mother for her own grammar errors, suggesting she focus on her daughter's GPA instead. Reese, now in the WNBA, later revealed on social media that she had graduated from LSU on time, seemingly in response to Brooks' comments. Despite the mothers' feud, the players themselves seemed to maintain a cordial relationship on the court, with Johnson even consoling Reese after a tough loss.Reese and the Tigers emerged victorious over Caitlin Clark's Iowa Hawkeyes in the 2023 national championship, but Iowa got revenge the following season in the Elite 8, although they ultimately fell short in the title game against South Carolina. Reese was subsequently drafted by the WNBA's Chicago Sky, alongside South Carolina's Kamilla Cardoso.Despite the drama off the court, Reese and her former teammates continue to make waves in the world of women's basketball, showcasing their talents at the professional level.
