The schedules for women’s basketball in the SEC are released for a few months, but if they eat, people will want to circl a matchup that has just become a lot more interesting: South Carolina at LSU.
It is difficult to call this series a real rivalry, because the Gamecocks have 17 consecutive victories over the Tigers. However, since Kim Mulkey arrived in Baton Rouge in 2021, two programs were the best in the SEC – Argulay the Best Conference in Women’s College Basketball. And when the two teams meet, it usually attracts a large audience for the sport. Last season, however, although the match at the unconventional time of 5 pm and a Friday was tipped due to a bad weather and peak viewer of 1.1 million fans who are tuned, making it one of the five most watched regular season races on all networks.
The two parties also met in a memorable final tournament of 2024 sec. And Milaysia Fulwiley was a big reason why the GameCocks won when she scored 24 points and took MVP subdivisions home in the tournament.
But Fulwiley has traced her grenade and black for purple and gold.
Indeed, she will play for the oher side of this rivalry next season and add another storyline to a long -awaited matchup.
Fulwiley announced on Friday afternoon that she had committed herself to LSU after a spissing of about two weeks in the transfer portal. The rising junior Guard will work together with Fla’jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams in what a starting line -up will be with at least three guards next season.
“She brings her incredible play capacity to Baton Rouge, who stands on the most exciting talents in college basketball,” Mulkey said in a statement. “Her ability to influence was clear to fight her career.”
The last two seasons in South Carolina have shown the 5-foot-10 resident of Columbia Flitsen of her extraterrestrial athletics and excellent talents. With her Swagger, creativity and striking skills, it became clear that she has the potential to be one of the stars of the sport. Under Armor and Red Bull thought that while they signed her for zero deals.
The development of Fulwiley, however, seemed to block Staley as a second -year student under Dawn Staley. She only played 0.5 minutes more per game and never started this last season and many of her statistics of her 3-point shooting percentage on her Peru her assist-an-angover-Ratio-Bordeed as a second-year student. Yet there were times when Staley transferred the keys to the team to Fulwiley in crucial games and the electric guard was wore the game stands to victories. Note, she had 23 points and five rebounds in a four -point victory over Maryland in Sweet 16.
The lack of growth in a role and playing time for Fulwiley led to chatter among both fans and media members who speculated whether she might enter the transfer portal. Those 11ths turned into full calls after South Carolina landed de Ta’niya Latina from Florida landed, who plays the same position as Fulwiley-Thruh the portal and after Raven Johnson was canceled, she returned for El Ecog. Indeed, within a week after signing Latson at the GameCocks, Fulwiley went into the portal.
Fulwiley environment The transfer with Portal to “no contact” tag, a family source with its Situation SB Nation, allowing her control to allow the process and the programs of Vice-Vice programs could reach. A source also said that LSU was the only program that Fulwiley visited during her time in the portal.
This outdoor season has been one of the LSU schedule after the Tigers fell in the Elite Eight for the second consecutive season. Aneesah Morrow went to the WNBA, Shayann Day-Wilson put her eligible and players such as Sa’Myoh Smith, Wolfenbarger Jersey, Last-Tarlo Poa and Mjracle Sheppard started the transfer portal.
But Johnson and Williams are back, Fulwiley and Notre Dame’s Kate Koval come in, and two top 10-ranked recruits through ESPN-Grace Knox and Zakiyah Johnson-Will Bolf Bolter an LSU roster that is expected to be for the CRWN and at the end of four berth. LSU is also one of the programs that are considered by Wisconsin Transfer Williams, on 6-foot-4 Junior Forward, who was a first team All-Big Ten selection this season.
Another thing that is worth paying attention to Fulwiley’s transfer to LSU is that although she can continue her zero deal with the curry brand of Under Armor, she cannot wear its characteristic “butta” shoes -the curry 2 feil low pequet -upsups. That’s because LSU has a contract with Nike to equip his entire athletic department. Nike has already written the precedent not to give about this, in the same way, Johnson has a zero deal with Puma, but wears Nike during LSU games.
At a Nike school, however, Fulwiley would allow to wear the characteristic shoes of the former South Carolina star A’ja Wilson. Fulwiley who adapted to the GameCocks in a few A’ones would only add more herbs to this rivalry.
