Lady Tigers forward Angel Reese gestures toward Iowa Hawkeyes guard Caitlin Clark after the Women's Final Four NCAA tournament on April 2, 2023, in Dallas. "I don't think runner-ups usually go to the White House," Clark said."I think LSU should enjoy that moment for them. And congratulations, obviously. They deserve to go there. Maybe I could to the White House on different terms though. But I think that’s for LSU. That’s a pretty cool moment, and they should enjoy every single second of being a champion.
"More than anything, I’m just lucky enough that there were some really cool people in the arena at thatSunday night," Clark continued."There were some really highly sought-after people watching and supporting women’s basketball, and that’s exactly what this game needs.
