march madness kicks off today for the women’s teams, and there will be plenty of eyes on Angel Reese as her LSU Tigers play their first game on Friday, March 22nd.
With all of the attention on the 21-year-old this season, people have a lot of questions about Angel’s family, including her brother Julian “Juju” Reese. Like his sister, Julian plays Division I basketball.
But who is Julian Reese and what is his relationship with his sister? Here’s the deal.
Julian is a power forward for the Maryland Terrapins.
Julian is a junior who plays for the University of Maryland Terrapins basketball team. He’s a power forward who is 6’9”, according to his school bio. (His sister is 6’3”, for what it’s worth.)
While the Terrapins didn’t make the NCAA tournament this year and last year, Julian made a March Madness appearance with the team during his freshman year. This year, he was an All-Big Ten Honorable Mention and finished the Big Ten Tournament with 12 points, six rebounds, three assists, and two blocks in a first-round victory against Rutgers.
In his freshman year, he played in 32 games and averaged 5.7 points and 4.4 rebounds per game.
