President Biden and first lady Dr. Jill Biden welcomed the 2023 NCAA women’s basketball champions, the Louisiana State University Tigers, to the White House to celebrate their accomplishments and the example they’ve set for the country
The women’s basketball champion Louisiana State University Tigers were first to be honored, as the Bidens lauded their accomplishments and the example they set. “You didn’t just play basketball, you didn’t just make history, you showed us – girls and boys, women and men – what it means to be a champion. You gave us hope and joy, a way to find that fire in ourselves. And most of all, the chance to see you soar. Thank you for giving us those gifts,” the first lady said.
“So, I’ve set up a basketball on the South Lawn. There’s a court down there by the tennis courts and, Jordan, your uncle thinks he can take you as well. So, I just want you to know that after this we’re all going to go down to see that one-on-one game,” Biden said. During the LSU celebration, the first lady and Reese hugged after the jersey presentation.
