The mystery of Angel Reese’s absence from the defending national champion LSU women’s basketball team only grew deeper on Monday as she was not with the team for warmups for the second straight game.
LSU played Texas Southern at home, but Reese’s whereabouts were still unknown. LSU coach Kim Mulkey has been cagey around questions about Reese. She was asked again after the game.
"Sometimes you want to know more than you're entitled to know. I'm going to protect my players. Always," she told reporters, via WAFB-TV. "If you do some disciplining of your own children, do you think we're entitled to know that?"

Mulkey's remarks on Monday followed last week's terse comments.
"It's very obvious Angel was not in uniform," Mulkey said, via NOLA.com. "Angel is a part of this basketball team, and we hope to see her sooner rather than later. I'm not gonna answer any more. That's it. That's all y'all need to know."
Reese’s absence on Monday night only adds to the intrigue. The Most Outstanding Player of the women’s basketball tournament continued to post cryptically on social media.

"Look at me. What about me would make you think that I care about your opinion of me? Your opinion of me is not the opinion that I have of myself. You ain’t make me, so you can’t break me. You didn’t build me, so you can’t kill me," Sanders said in the video.
