BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — LSU forward Angel Reese was talking to reporters even before she sat down in front of a microphone to take questions.
“How happy are y'a'll to see me? I know you all are," she said as she walked into a postgame interview room for the first time in about two weeks. “Let's have some fun.”
Reese was as ready to play as she was ready to talk.
She went straight back to the starting lineup upon her return from a four-game absence and scored 19 points to help No. 7 LSU defeat No. 9 Virginia Tech 82-64 on Thursday night.
“It was a long two weeks to be away from the team," Reese said. "Taking time to yourself is really important. I just felt like that was something that was important, resetting and refocusing within the team. I’m just happy to be back and this place was amazing tonight. I’m just happy to be here with them.”
