When it comes to championship teams, the winner usually gets invited to the White House.

However, First Lady Jill Biden wanted to make an exception and invite the winner and loser of the April 2 NCAA women’s basketball championship, the Louisiana State University Tigers and the Iowa Hawkeyes, respectively. The Tigers beat the Hawkeyes 102-85.
