The office of Biden says the invitation was for LSU women’s team

The First Lady of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship Game congratulated on a win over the Louisiana State University and the University of Iowa

The winner of the women’s basketball championship is invited to visit the White House. Even though LSU won, the first lady traveled to Louisiana State and the University of Iowa to host a game after the game.

Speaking on Monday, Biden congratulated both teams on their performance in Sunday’s national championship game, as well as specifically highlighting Iowa’s sportsmanship.

It is traditional for the national champions to be invited to the White House, but not for the runners-up. Reese called the Biden comments a joke along with three laughing emojis.

“To The Most Honorable (President Biden) and (First Lady Biden),” Carter said. “LSU has won their first NCAA women’s Basketball Championship Title with a record-breaking score of 102-85.

Reese was a key piece in the victory over the Hawkeyes to win the first national title in school history. She was named the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA tournament as a result of her performances.

Before Valdivia’s clarification, ESPN host Stephen A. Smith had echoed Reese’s sentiment, replying to her tweet saying: “I mean absolutely zero disrespect to the First Lady, but you are 1000% correct.

The Case of Caitlin Clark: The Gesture of a New NCAA Women’s Basketball Champion During the NCAA Basketball Championship Game

The national championship was watched by an average of over 10 million viewers. The most watched college basketball game on record is the NCAA Division I women’s college basketball game.

Reese has been in the headlines following LSU’s victory, in particular as she called out the double standard in the reaction to her gesture towards Iowa guard Caitlin Clark.

Reese could be seen reaching toward Clark and moving her hand in front of her face before pointing to her ring finger, a gesture that was interpreted as a reference to the place her new championship ring might sit.

The gesture sparked much debate, especially on social media. Some criticized Reese, while others defended her actions, highlighting the lack of public outrage after Clark made a gesture earlier in the tournament.

“All year, I was critiqued for who I was. I don’t fit the narrative,” Reese said. “I don’t fit the box that y’all want me to be in. I am also a hood. I’m too ghetto. All year, I was told that. But when other people do it, and y’all don’t say nothing.

“So this is for the girls that look like me. For those who believe in something and want to speak up about it. It’s unapologetically you. And that’s what I did it for tonight. It was much larger than me tonight. And Twitter is going to go into a rage every time.”

News of the first lady’s comments on the dual White House invitation came on the heels of a viral moment between Reese and Iowa Hawkeyes guard Caitlin Clark.
