Angel Reese just keeps stackin’ up trophies … the LSU hoop star and 2023 NCAA champ just won a BET Award — and she was hyped!
The annual ceremony went down Sunday at the Microsoft Theatre in downtown Los Angeles … where some of the top rappers, singers, and entertainers won awards.
That included 21-year-old Reese, whose squad won the 2023 NCAA championship, beat out female stars like Serena Williams, Naomi Osaka, and Candace Parker, for the Sportswoman of the Year award.
“Thank you BET!” Reese said on Twitter after the announcement. “So sad I couldn’t be there but I really appreciate this! This means a lot!”
The 21-year-old forward couldn’t be in L.A. to receive her award in person … ’cause what else — she was hooping.
“I’m at USA basketball right now trying to win a gold medal when I could be at the BET awards,” Reese tweeted to a fan.

Reese was named to the Team USA roster for the 2023 women’s FIBA AmeriCup, a tournament held every two years with top female players from around the globe.
The US women’s first game is against Venezuela on July 1.
When it comes to male athletes, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts took home BET’s Sportsman of the Year award, beating LeBron James, Patrick Mahomes, Steph Curry, Aaron Judge, Gervonta Davis, and Bubba Wallace.
Congrats Angel and Jalen!!!
