The LSU Tigers and the Iowa Hawkeyes have delivered one of the best NCAA games this season. Hawkeyes superstar Caitlin Clark fired up the court with nine three-pointers as the crowd erupted every time she swished the ball. Although, the game was out of reach for the LSU Tigers with less than two minutes remaining, a controversial foul call on Angel Reese has surprised many on the internet. Well, former Los Angeles Lakers icon Ron Artest is one of them too. 

Right before entering the last minute of the game, the Tigers got a crucial steal. Reese found her way to the basket to get contact from Iowa’s Kate Martin. Although she made the basket, the referees called a charge on her. This was Reese’s 5th foul and she was sent to the bench after getting fouled out. Well, that caught Metta World Peace‘s attention. 

The 2010 NBA champion tweeted, “Literally an horrible call on Angel. But great game”. Notably, when the game ended, there was only a 7-point difference. So did that foul call cost a possible win for the LSU Tigers? 

Reese had 17 points, 20 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 blocks. Notably, she had 10 offensive rebounds, which gave the Tigers a lot of second chances. So, when Reese was fouled in clutch time, it struck a nerve for many. The LSU has now crashed out of the NCAA. Clark and Iowa will fly to the Final Four, and continue their run for the National Championship. Clark dropped 41 points, 12 assists, and 7 rebounds, with 9 made threes. Now she holds the record for most 3s made in Division 1 basketball with 538.

Surprisingly, most of the fans sported a yellow jersey to show their support for Clark, and it felt like a home game for the Iowa Hawkeyes. Every time the 22-year-old superstar scored a bucket, the crowd roared, to showcase their favorite player. Well, it was evident when Angel Reese got her lost foul call. While Reese was in denial at the sideline, fans waved their hands to taunt her.
