LOS ANGELES >> The secondseed­ed UCLA women’s basketball team will face a team with a powerful offense and a big personalit­y Saturday in its NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 game against defending national champion LSU in Albany, New York.

Forward Angel Reese (6foot-3) and guard Aneesah Morrow (6-1) each have more than 20 double-doubles this season for thirdseede­d LSU (27-6). Reese has recorded a double-double in 14 consecutiv­e games

and has recorded eight in her fourth year in the NCAA Tournament.

She’s also gone viral on social media for her competitiv­eness and in-game actions. For example, she waved goodbye to Middle Tennessee State player Anastasiia Boldyreva, who was fouled out by Reese on Sunday in their second-round game.
