GREENVILLE, S.C. — MiLaysia Fulwiley tried about every trick she possibly could have, and a few she likely should not have, too. It was enough to keep No. 6 LSU in reach of No. 3 South Carolina in the SEC semifinals on Saturday. But it was not enough for anything more.
Fulwiley led all scorers with 24 points and fulfilled her standard quota of plays daring enough to make one earnestly wonder if she is capable of feeling doubt on the court. Her performance secured a halftime lead for LSU. But a disjointed and defensively lackluster second half doomed this group down the stretch. The Tigers lost, 83–77, in much the same fashion that it has lost every recent game against the Gamecocks.
