Reese clamped down on USC’s star center Kamilla Cardoso for most of the game. Cardoso and her top sidekick, Paopao, combined for just six points in the first half.

LSU couldn’t beat this opponent with its superstar on the bench. In the final four minutes, LSU missed Reese’s rebounding, her defense, her ability to muscle up buckets in the paint. It missed her mettle. If Reese didn’t foul out, you could convince me the result would have been flipped.

“Four minutes left? That’s too much time to not have Angel Reese on the floor,” LSU’s Flau’Jae Johnson said. “… Without Angel, we lacked that experience we needed.”

Officials whistled Reese for some ticky-tack fouls earlier in the game, but the fifth foul was a no doubter
