Angel Reese spent her final two college seasons at LSU, where she helped the Tigers win the first national championship in program history, and blossomed into a first-round WNBA draft pick. While her time in Baton Rouge was successful, she said it wasn't always enjoyable.

While Reese was the center of attention Friday night, she wasn't the only player who suited up for Mulkey's Tigers on the Sky roster. Hailey Van Lith, who played the 2023-24 season at LSU, was recently drafted by the Sky. Van Lith put together a successful season at TCU before making the leap to the WNBA.

Naturally, Mulkey wasn’t going to miss the chance to watch one of her star players shine on a new stage. She even joined the live broadcast to share her thoughts on Reese’s growth and legacy, offering heartfelt praise and insights into what makes the young star so special.
