LSU Tigers guard MiLaysia Fulwiley left Dawn Staley’s South Carolina to go to rival LSU. Despite this, LSU still lost to the Gamecocks twice this season, once during the regular season and again in the SEC Tournament.
Despite this, the Tigers are still a shoo-in for the upcoming NCAA Tournament, also known as March Madness. They are projected as a No. 2 seed, while South Carolina is projected as a No. 1 seed. This means that MiLaysia Fulwiley still has another chance to beat her former team before she graduates, and that is on the biggest stage in college women’s basketball.
As the tournament draws ever closer, Fulwiley posted a photo dump of herself in action against her former team as she prepares for yet another NCAA Tournament, this time wearing LSU purple and white.
“it’s that time,” she wrote.
The Tigers have lost 19 straight matchups against the Gamecocks in women’s basketball, which shows that Dawn Staley really has Kim Mulkey’s number. The next time these two teams could meet would either be in the Elite Eight or the Final Four, depending on how the selection committee creates its bracket for the upcoming tournament. It would also be possible that they would not meet again this season, as one of them might get eliminated.
Where Could MiLaysia Fulwiley and the LSU Tigers End Up During March Madness?
Despite losing to South Carolina again during the SEC Tournament, the LSU Tigers have managed to hold onto their No. 5 overall ranking in the AP Top 25. This means they will more than likely be a No. 2 seed, but the question is: which quadrant could they end up in?
ESPN’s Charlie Crème, NCAA.com’s Autumn Johnson, Matthew Walter of The IX Sports and Megan Gauer of HerHoopStats.com have the Tigers as the No. 2 seed in Region 2, which is in Sacramento. However, CBS Sports’ Connor Groel believes that they will enter the tournament as the No. 2 seed in Region 1, which is in Fort Worth.
