Angel Reese couldn’t leave the Baton Rouge campus without saying farewell to one specific tiger as she got ready to leave the LSU Tigers women’s basketball team to start her new career in the WNBA. It was not an emotionally light moment for the weak of heart.
Reese realized she had taken Mike the Tiger for granted during the last two years and muttered, “Oh my gosh,” with a heavy heart as she watched him walk by with a royal demeanor.
According to her Instagram story, the anticipated top-10 WNBA Draft pick said, “I’ll miss being able to see a live tiger on campus every day.”
