Angel Reese’s mom takes shot at Caitlin Clark, Iowa fans
Angel Reese‘s mom took a shot at Caitlin Clark and Iowa Hawkeyes fans ahead of an Indiana Fever preseason game. Reese’s mother, Angel Webb Reese, went to X/Twitter to attack Clark and Iowa fans for the possibility of having a sold-out crowd at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. This happened after Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky played in a WNBA preseason game at LSU that had very few fans.
“Aww that certain fan base looking in the stands celebrating “attendance” while others are looking up in the rafters celebrating championship banners. We ain’t the same,” Angel’s mom wrote. “Different year same haters. Have a great day.”
Webb Reese’s comments are from her daughter’s rivalry with Caitlin Clark, which became intense when the two battled in the 2023 NCAA national championship game. In that matchup, Angel Resse and LSU took down Clark and Iowa 102-85.
After playing another season of college basketball the following year, Reese and Clark entered the WNBA and had strong rookie seasons. But Clark was named Rookie of the Year after averaging 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists per contest.

On Sunday, Clark and the Fever took down the Brazilian national team 108-44. In that game, Clark recorded 16 points.
“I think it’s really good for our fans that might not have a chance to go see us play in the [WNBA],” Clark said of WNBA games played in college arenas. “…I think it gives them a great opportunity to come and cheer for us, and also see a team they’ve probably watched on TV quite a few times.
“I’ve told my teammates they’re going to be here cheering for me, yes, but they’re also going to be here cheering for you and our entire team. And I think that’s what’s so great about these fans is they really rally around the entire team, it’s not just myself.”
