Iron sharpens iron. A common mantra used by ultimate competitors to make themselves better by facing each other.
Louisiana State University’s Angel Reese is a competitor. And Iowa’s Caitlin Clark is a competitor. They’re competitive to the point where sometimes, they get ridiculed for it.
Clark and Reese, two of women’s college basketball’s brightest stars, take center stage Monday night – in a rematch of the 2023 NCAA women’s basketball championship.
LSU won that game, but perhaps the biggest story was Reese appearing to taunt Clark near the end with hand gestures, including one in which she appeared to point to the finger on which she’s put her NCAA championship ring.
“Any time you have the chance to go against somebody you lost to, it brings a little more energy,” Clark said this weekend. “I think overall it’s going to be a great game for women’s basketball.”
