Iowa's Caitlin Clark has defended her LSU rival Angel Reese for a gesture she made during the NCAA women's basketball championship game on Sunday.

Reese made the You can't see me" gesture - made famous by wrestler John Cena - towards her opponent as the Tigers closed out their 102-85 victory, which secured their first NCAA women's basketball title. She also pointed to her finger, referencing the championship ring she would soon receive.
