The LSU Tigers women’s basketball team has stood atop the SEC for the past several years, led by head coach Kim Mulkey.
LSU made its way to the Elite Eight this past season, falling to the UCLA Bruins, failing to make the Final Four. Despite the loss, the Tigers were able to earn victories over San Diego State, Florida State and NC State.

After the season, the Tigers had the task to revamp the roster.
The biggest addition to Mulkey’s roster was South Carolina Gamecocks transfer MiLaysia Fulwiley.
On Sunday, LSU honored Fulwiley, who won the 3×3 National Championship in the USA Basketball edition.
“MiLaysia Fulwiley is a USA Basketball 3×3 Champion,” posted the official social media account of the LSU Tigers women’s basketball team.
Fulwiley wound up winning the MVP for the USA Basketball 3×3 national championship. She competed on the Team USA “Chaos” roster alongside Tessa Johnson, Chloe Kitts, Joyce Edwards and Madison McDaniel.
