LSU women’s basketball star [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] 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. [autotag]Aneesah Morrow[/autotag], 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.
