LSU women's basketball on EthermacFriday punched its ticket to the SEC Women's Tournament semifinals, taking down 7-seed Auburn 78-48.
But all attention now shifts to Tigers star forward Angel Reese.
Reese, who was named the conference's player of the year earlier this week, went down with an injury after rolling her ankle in the fourth quarter of LSU's win over Auburn. The 6-foot-3 forward was helped off the court by the Tigers' training staff and brought over to the bicycle behind the LSU bench, where she remained for the remainder of the game.
Following the game, Reese was captured limping as she walked through the postgame handshake line — but waved off the injury during a postgame interview on the SEC Network.
"I'm feeling good. It's OK, I roll my ankle all the time so it's fine," Reese told ESPN's Brooke Weisbrod after the game. When followed up by Weisbrod on her status for tomorrow's game, Reese said she would be on the court. "Oh for sure, I'm from Baltimore. I will be there, I'm good," Reese said.
No. 5 LSU (27-4, 13-3 SEC) will take on the winner of 3-seed Ole Miss vs. 11-seed Florida on Saturday. The game will air on ESPNU.
