The LSU women's basketball team lived out a dream last month when they won the national championship over Iowa.

However, with the championship came much controversy with Angel Reese's celebrations towards the end of the final game.

Reese, now infamously, signaled that she was getting a championship ring and, like Iowa's Caitlin Clark, pulled off John Cena's "You Can't See Me" celebration.

Reese was called a "classless piece of s--t" by Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy, among other negative connotations in the midst of her greatest athletic achievement and one of the greatest milestones of her entire life.

"It was frustrating," Reese said on "The Jennifer Hudson Show" earlier this week.

However, despite the backlash she got, there has been an extremely bright light at the end of the tunnel.

"To see how we’ve grown women’s basketball with a couple weeks, 9.9 million people watched the game. That’s more than the men's. I know one day we’re going down in the history books, so it’s bigger than me," she continued.

However, Reese did admit that it would have been nice for more people to celebrate the Tigers' accomplishments rather than bask in the controversy surrounding her and Clark.

"I’m so happy that we won the championship. I wish it was more talked about. As much as they talked about the Caitlin situation, I wanted to talk about the national championship, because we worked just as hard.
