Caitlin Clark appeared to take the high road when asked about the taunt by LSU’s Angel Reese.
Reese, the Tigers’ star forward, talked some smack and did Clark’s John Cena “You Can’t See Me” gesture in the closing seconds of LSU’ s 102-85 win over Iowa in the national championship game on Sunday.
Asked by reporters after the game if she realized what Reese had done, Clark said she didn’t and that she was just focused shaking hands with everyone and being grateful for the moment.
Caitlin Clark said she didn’t see Angel Reese taunting her, she was focused on going to the handshake line and being grateful for being in that moment.
