Jason Whitlock claims Angel Reese is only famous because she taunted Caitlin Clark in last year's national championship game - and says their rivalry is DEAD after Iowa star's 41-point display in Monday night's win

Former sports pundit turned conservative talk show host Jason Whitlock delivered a surprising and scathing commentary on the abilities of LSU basketball star Angel Reese.

Reese played her final game in an LSU uniform as the Tigers fell to Caitlin Clark and Iowa in the Elite Eight last night.

Whitlock took it upon himself to declare the rivalry dead while also choosing to put down Reese.

'We can officially quit putting Angel Reese on Caitlin Clark's level,' Whitlock posted to Twitter.

'Stop it. One is an all-time great player. The other got famous for taunting. The rivalry is dead.' 

Jason Whitlock decided to rag on Angel Reese after she fell to Caitlin Clark and Iowa

Whitlock said that Reese only got famous for taunting Clark and declared their rivalry dead

It was a weird change in direction after he praised her earlier in the evening

Clark and Iowa are headed to the Final Four - while Reese and LSU had their season end

Calling Reese 'famous for taunting' is an interesting change of course - considering that a little over an hour before Whitlock sent that tweet out, he was praising Reese.

'Great game. Angel Reese has stepped up,' Whitlock tweeted out at 8:18pm last night.

It should also be noted that Reese won the SEC Player of the Year award in the 2023-24 season.

That's in part to the 18.6 points and 13.4 rebounds per game that she put up. Her points mark was third-best in the SEC and her rebound mark led the conference and was second in the entire country.
