LSU Tigers star Angel Reese expressed his emotions once again in a close contest against Middle Tennessee State on Sunday.
After falling behind in the half, LSU was able to rally and ended up winning the game 83-56 to advance to the Sweet 16.
At one point in the third quarter of the game, MTSU’s Anastasiia Boldyreva fouled out of the contest after battling Reese all night.
Reese, who had been thrown to the ground, was seen waving goodbye to her MTSU counterpart, now on the bench.
The star then waved his hands in the air to cheer up the crowd at the Pete Maravich Athletic Center in Baton Rouge.

Reese and the Tigers had a tough game against MTSU, but came away with a dominant win
Reese is seen greeting the student body as LSU’s victory means they advance to the Sweet 16.
Boldyreva was close to tears after the call was made, and cameras captured her fuming.
Reese later addressed the attention her wave was receiving in a social media post.
“Everything I do with clickbait keeps going viral,” Reese wrote on Twitter Sunday night.
That wave comes nearly a year after Reese was seen pointing at her ring finger and celebrating in front of Iowa star Caitlin Clark in last year’s national championship game.
But these days, LSU has had a tougher road back to the NCAA Tournament: It entered as the third seed this year.
It also comes as coach Kim Mulkey is on the brink of a battle with the Washington Post over a yet-to-be-published article she deemed a “hit piece.”
