Angel Reese Called Out For Hypocritical For Post-Game Antics After Iowa Loss: VIDEO

Published|Updated

FS1's Emmanuel Acho thinks Angel Reese went a bit too far in the post-game press conference.

Reese and the Tigers were booted out of the NCAA Tournament by Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes in what was nothing short of an incredible performance by the latter.

Reese and LSU love to embrace the villain role and talk a big game. It definitely didn't save them against Clark. To make matters worse, Reese was very emotional after the game backing herself into a corner as the victim, citing alleged death threats, claiming she's "sexualized" and saying she's not happy.

Honestly, she just seems like a deeply unhappy person, and Acho wasn't impressed by her complete 180 with her attitude after losing.

Emmanuel Acho criticizes Angel Reese.

"Angel Reese, you can't be the big bad wolf and then kind of cry like Courage the Cowardly Dog," Acho said on the Tuesday episode of "SPEAK."

"Nobody mourns when the villain catches an L, and, Angel Reese, you're self-proclaimed to be the villain. Shoutout to you because you were the second best basketball player on the court [against Iowa], and it was not close," the FS1 pundit further added.

His most powerful point came when he told viewers, "You can't, under any circumstances, go to the podium and now try to ask for individuals to give you sympathy. Nobody has sympathy for the villain. You painted the bullseye on your back. Why are you surprised when people shoot at you?"

Acho is completely correct, and it's the same criticism many people have of not just Reese - but the entire LSU program. The Tigers absolutely embraced the mentality of "LSU against the world." They leaned into people not liking them.

Then, after losing to Iowa, the LSU star got up there and immediately played the victim card. Either keep the same energy you have on and off the court in the press conference or drop the act.

And let's remember, a lot of the criticism of LSU has been self-inflicted. Here's a list of the quick hitters:

It has nothing to do with race or sex. It's all about the conduct of the team, and how people feel about it. It's easy to be Billy Badass when you're winning. It's not hard to be confident at all when that's happening. However, it sure is interesting how the narrative from LSU immediately changed after the loss. You can't have it both ways.
