Steph Curry Backs South Carolina’s MiLaysia Fulwiley Before NCAA Tournament

The NCAA Women’s College Basketball Tournament is officially set to begin, with the South Carolina Gamecocks looking to defend their title. On the eve of the tournament, one of the Gamecocks’ key players, MiLaysia Fulwiley, is receiving a major endorsement from an NBA icon.

South Carolina is widely regarded as one of the top contenders for the 2025 championship, and it’s clear why when you take a look at their roster. The Gamecocks are powered by Fulwiley, who has been a game-changer coming off the bench. Her talent hasn’t gone unnoticed, as NBA legend Steph Curry recently showed his support for the rising star.

Ahead of the Golden State Warriors’ game against the Toronto Raptors on Thursday, Curry was photographed arriving at the stadium wearing a MiLaysia Fulwiley t-shirt. SportsCenter shared the image on X, captioning it: “The chef knows who’s about to be cooking up some madness 🔥 Steph Curry pulled up to the Warriors game reppin’ MiLaysia Fulwiley 😮‍💨.”

In case you missed it, Fulwiley recently signed with Curry Brand, the signature line by Curry’s Under Armour partnership. Fulwiley made history as the first collegiate athlete to sign an NIL deal with the Curry Brand, and Curry spoke highly of her commitment and potential.

“She believes in what we’re doing… and obviously in South Carolina doing amazing things, winning a championship in her freshman year. And trying to continue to get better, and keep pushing the envelope on what she can accomplish in her career,” Curry remarked.

He added, “As you build out your roster, you want to have just good people that truly understand, one, they want to be great on the court, two, they stand for something, represent something off the court, and always looking for ways to impact the community. And she checks all those boxes.”

As the Gamecocks prepare for their opening-round matchup against Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles today at 4:00 pm ET, Fulwiley’s presence and support from Curry highlight the star power on this team.
