The ESPN broadcast spotted Reese waving goodbye as she went back to her bench. Boldyreva played 16 minutes in the game and had nine points. LSU was only up six points at that point, but it seemed to turn the game around.

LSU went on to win the game 83-56, but Reese's action didn’t go unnoticed on social media.

"Waving goodbye while you’re up 6 on an 11 seed isn’t the flex you think it is Angel. Not to mention the flop," one fan wrote on X.

"Angel Reese waving bye bye as opponent fouls out. When people say she has no class, look no further. And her coach condones it," another fan added on X with clown emojis.

But fans of Reese came to her defense.
