The LSU women's basketball team easily defeated Southeastern Lousiana on Friday night, but one player was noticeably absent from the team during the team.
Star forward Angel Reese wasn't with the rest of the Lady Tigers during their win, leading to speculations and questions surrounding her and the program.
Head coach Kim Mulkey did not elaborate on Reese's absence while addressing the matter after the game, simply saying "we hope she's back with the team soon."
Reese's absence comes after she was benched in the second half of LSU's win over Kent State, a move that Mulkey called a "coach's decision."
Reese posted a TikTok video early Saturday morning that may shed some light on her hiatus from the team.
In the video, Reese shares several slides with various photos of flowers from her boyfriend, Florida State guard Cam'Ron Fletcher.
Reese explains how much the flowers have meant to her during their six-month relationship, including on the final slide of the video, where she says "flowers he sent me today because he knows what I'm going through."
"Thank you for being there during the light and dark of my life," Reese said in the caption to her video. "You keep me sane and being my peace is what I've always look at you for."
LSU's next game is scheduled for Monday against Texas Southern.
