The LSU Tigers face the Niagara Purple Eagles in their opening game at the Cayman Islands Classic basketball tournament. With their star attraction, Angel Reese missing out yet again, the Lady Tigers were looking to add another win to their campaign. However, the game witnessed a delayed start due to a fire alarm going off at the gym. As a result, everyone was asked to evacuate the building immediately.

But according to sources, there was nothing to worry about as the teams were getting ready to announce their starting line-ups.

The LSU Tigers face an unusual start to their game

The LSU Tigers were underway to start their Cayman Islands Classic campaign on Friday. After five back-to-back wins, the reigning national champions were clear favorites of the contest. Unfortunately, just as both the teams were looking to take the court, a false fire alarm spoilt the fun for everyone present. Both the teams and the crowd were asked to clear the John Gray Gymnasium right away. Moreover, fire service was also called as a precautionary measure. Despite all the theatrics, LSU was seen having a nice time with their fans. The No.4 Flau’jae Johnson along with the point guard were seen rapping and making a music video.

However, the drama didn’t last for long as the official business was underway soon after. After a while, both the teams were back on to the court as the game received the green signal. Fans were relieved to see both the teams in action and were looking for a mouth-watering clash. Placed at the 7th spot currently, the Lady Tigers had all the momentum with them as the crowd witnessed them singing “the girl on Fire”.  However, the Purple Eagles were looking to hand the NCAA champions their second loss.

Angel Reese misses out yet again

LSU’s most popular and the most successful player of their championship run–Angel Reese did not accompany her team to the Cayman Islands. The All-American forward has been ruled out of Kim Mulkey’s squad now for the third game in a row. Following this, LSU’s spokesman Grant Kauvar was unable to provide a reasonable explanation about the Bayou Barbie’s absence. Further, it seems like whenever someone inquires about her absence, the university deviates it towards Mulkey. Angel Reese has been out of action after Mulkey benched her in the second half of LSU’s win over Kent State. Moreover, the defending champions won both the games convincingly without Reese.

The exclusion of Angel Reese poses a lot of questions on Kim Mulkey’s team selection. Nonetheless, her team is putting on quite a show under her leadership. However, fans will be hoping that Reese makes a comeback and contributes to the team’s success sooner rather than later.
