The 2024 NCAA Women’s Tournament intensifies on Monday evening as Angel Reese and the LSU Tigers face off against Caitlin Clark and the owa Hawkeyes in the Elite Eight. This anticipated rematch of last year’s national championship is poised to attract significant viewership. Among the notable attendees will be Dave Portnoy, the founder and proprietor of Barstool Sports.
Portnoy announced in a video on Monday morning his plans to be in Albany to witness the highly anticipated matchup. Expressing his excitement for the big game, he referred to the LSU Tigers as ‘hateable,’ adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the event.
“I’m absolutely pumped for the Iowa-LSU game tonight,” Portnoy exclaimed. “I’m flying out to Albany. This is a game I wouldn’t want to miss. It’s a revenge match. Angel Reese. Caitlin Clark. This is what makes sports so thrilling.”
As the defending champions, LSU carries a certain swagger and determination, unafraid to face any challenge. Portnoy remarked that this confidence is what makes them either detestable or endearing, depending on one’s allegiance.
“LSU exudes arrogance, they’re brash, and undeniably talented. That’s what makes them either incredibly hateable or loveable, depending on your perspective,” he elaborated.
The spotlight in this game is undoubtedly on Clark and Reese. Last year, Reese engaged in some trash talk directed at Clark following the game.
