It's early, but in a big game, Milaysia Fulwiley looked like the next great South Carolina player.
It’s too early to say yet, but Milaysia Fulwiley just might be the next South Carolina women’s basketball player that we spend a whole lot of time talking about, like we did with Aliyah Boston and A’ja Wilson before her.
In her collegiate debut on Monday against Notre Dame in Paris, France, Fulwiley – ranked as the 13th-best prospect in the 2023 class by EPSN – entered the game midway through the first quarter and proceeded to take over. The 5-foot-10 McDonald’s All-American stole passes, dropped dimes, swished 3-pointers and made jaw-dropping plays.
By the end of the third quarter, South Carolina led a fellow ranked opponent by 25 points and Fulwiley was a big reason why, as the South Carolina native finished the game with 17 points, six assists and six steals.
But there was one play in the second quarter that made everyone watching jump out of their seat, when Fulwiley took the ball coast-to-coast and wrapped it behind her back before finishing at the rim with ease.
Stop watch you’re doing and watch this.
