In a weekend filled with fierce competition, jaw-dropping moves, and a showcase of elite talent, LSU’s MiLaysia Fulwiley emerged as the undeniable star of the 2025 3×3 Nationals tournament. The freshman sensation from South Carolina made headlines across the country after being named Most Valuable Player, capping off a dominant performance that has left fans, scouts, and analysts buzzing.
Fulwiley, who joined the LSU Tigers as one of the most electrifying high school recruits in recent memory, showed maturity and poise well beyond her years during the high-stakes tournament. With her signature blend of quick handles, court vision, and scoring flair, she led her team through a series of hard-fought games against some of the top collegiate talent in the nation.
From the very first tip-off, Fulwiley captivated crowds with her explosiveness and finesse. Whether draining step-back threes, slicing through double teams, or making clutch defensive stops, the 5-foot-10 guard demonstrated why many believe she’s the future face of women’s college basketball.
“She’s a generational talent,” said one NBA scout in attendance. “What MiLaysia just did in this tournament isn’t normal — she’s a freshman, yet she controlled the pace, lifted her teammates, and took over when it mattered most. This MVP is just the beginning.”
In the championship game, Fulwiley sealed her MVP status with a near-perfect performance, tallying 13 points, 5 assists, and 3 rebounds, while also knocking down the game-winning shot under heavy pressure.
Her coach and mentor, LSU’s Kim Mulkey, praised her development: “MiLaysia’s got the heart of a lion and the skill set of a pro. She stepped up, stayed humble, and gave everything. I’m so proud of her.”
The 3×3 Nationals MVP award is not just a personal milestone for Fulwiley — it’s a statement. After a freshman season filled with highlight reels and viral moments, this latest accolade puts her on the map as a serious contender for national college basketball honors in the upcoming season.
The LSU fanbase, famously known as the “Bayou Bengals,” erupted on social media with celebrations and congratulations for their rising star. “She’s HIM. Period,” one tweet read. Another fan wrote, “We’re witnessing greatness in real time. Thank you, MiLaysia!”
With the NCAA season on the horizon, all eyes will now be on Fulwiley to see how she builds on this early career triumph. If her 3×3 Nationals MVP performance is any indication, the rest of women’s college basketball has been put on notice — and LSU’s future looks brighter than ever.
