Every good movie needs rivals. And for the sporting world, it couldn’t be truer. Previously, the NBA had its time with Magic Johnson and Larry Bird in the 1980s. Now, it is the WNBA. NCAA rivals Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese have formed an image that has brought women’s basketball to the precipice of greatness. As the two finally meet each other in their professional team jerseys, the Chi-Town Barbie fans cannot help but give their rookie their best wishes.

Before almost every game, Reese takes it to her social media platforms and shares her photo. Something similar happened the previous night as she tweeted a photo of hers. In the image, she is sitting on a courtside bench in Chicago and throwing a peace sign.

Angel Reese vs Caitlin Clark was a moment that turned from a game to a story. Whether you look at the 2023 National Championship Final or the 2024 Elite Eight matchup, women’s college basketball had never received as much viewership as this duo brought. And looks like the jaws are again about to be dropped, the seats are about to be clinched, and the floor is ready to be set on fire. Seeing what’s at stake, her fans jumped to the comment section to wish her luck for today’s road matchup.

Angel Reese has become the talk of the town ahead of Caitlin Clark matchup

There is a huge group of loyalists that stand behind Angel Reese. Now that she represents a young core trying to set their mark on the professional league, the following has only taken a deeper dive. Hence, as she takes on her college basketball rival once again, her fans are both excited and worried about the outcome. One fan displayed their anxiousness. They asked Angel Reese to stop posting on social media and get her mind into the game. But they also gave an underhanded compliment as they called her pictures “cute.”

Lock in for tomorrow I don’t need cute pictures right now”

One fan went as far as saying that the League Barbie, a name Angel Reese recently adopted, is also the face of women’s basketball. While her career in the W has just started, looks like the fan is making some big claims. However, looking at how smoothly she has transitioned into the professional league, she is proving that she can undeniably be the cover girl of the league.

“The face of the Women’s Basketball”

Another fan entered the rather full comment section to let the current leader of the league in offensive rebounding that they would be watching her game. They also chanted for the entire Chicago team. The two teams will enter not just a heavyweight matchup but also the Commissioner’s Cup tournament.

“Good luck I’m be watching you on tv tomorrow angel reese let’s go sky let’s go sky”

There were also many followers wanting to wish Angel Reese their best. The Chicago Sky is running a 3-3 run. Adding a win to their bag can be quite an improvement in their standing. Hopefully, Kamilla Cardoso, another Caitlin Clark rival, will also join the crew to take down Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

“GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!!!!” “Good luck tomorrow!”
