Both Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark had college homecomings this past weekend, but the crowds appeared to be vastly different.
Reese, now a member of the Chicago Sky, played at her alma mater LSU on Friday in an exhibition against the Brazilian national team, and there were numerous empty seats spotted.
Meanwhile, Clark's return to Iowa, also against Brazil, sold out in under an hour. Clark and her Indiana Fever played at the arena the 2024 first overall pick called home for four years. It was where she became a household name amid a record-breaking college career.

Despite both players saying there is no rivalry between them amid lots of on- and off-court drama, Reese's mother still managed to take a shot at a "certain fan base."
Reese's Tigers, of course, defeated Iowa in the 2023 national championship, and the unofficial Reese-Clark rivalry began after Reese taunted Clark in the closing seconds of LSU's win. Reese's mother, Angel Webb Reese, reminded Clark fans of that day after their homecoming contests.
"Aww that certain fan base looking in the stands celebrating ‘attendance’ while others are looking up in the rafters celebrating championship banners," Webb Reese wrote in an X post. "We ain’t the same. Different year same haters Have a great day."
