Angel Reese and the United States women’s basketball team advanced to the semifinals of the FIBA AmeriCup in Leon, Mexico.
Team USA beat Columbia, 68-49, in Friday’s quarterfinal thanks to a 13-point, 18-rebound double-double from Reese. The United States will face Canada in the semifinals on Saturday.
Reese is coming off a huge season with LSU, leading the team to its first national title while setting an NCAA record for double-doubles. She could be the top WNBA draft pick next season, but first, she’ll return to Baton Rouge to try to lead LSU to another title.
