LSU’s Angel Reese named to Team USA for AmeriCup
LSU women’s basketball star Angel Reese was one of eight players selected to join Team USA for the upcoming 2023 FIBA Women’s AmeriCup, which is set to take place in León, Mexico, from July 1-9.
Training camp is set to begin on June 22 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with the first match in pool play coming against Venezuela on July 1. Aneesah Morrow, an All-American transfer addition for the Tigers from DePaul, received a camp invite and will compete for one of the four remaining spots.
For Reese, her selection was a long-time coming. After leading LSU to its first national championship in women’s basketball, setting the NCAA record for double-doubles in a season in the process, she’ll look to lead Team USA to its fifth AmeriCup win and first since 2021.
