LSU junior MiLaysia Fulwiley has been named to USA Basketball’s 3×3 Nations League team, the organization announced.
Fulwiley, who transferred to LSU from South Carolina, joins a six-member team that will compete at the 2025 FIBA 3×3 Nations League America Conferences from July 21-27 in Punta Arenas, Chile. She will be making her USA Basketball competitive debut, similar to LSU senior Flau’jae Johnson who took home a gold medal in the Women’s AmeriCup on July 6.
The 2025 FIBA 3×3 Nations League will stream live on the official FIBA3x3 YouTube channel.
The FIBA event includes six three-game tournaments over seven days. The competition will feature a format that has several stops held over the course of the week-long event. Teams are able to accumulate points based on performance in each stop, and team members can substitute as needed for each four-person entry. 3×3 is played on a half court with a 10-minute clock and a 12-second shot clock. The first team to 21 points, or the team in the lead at the end of regulation, is the winner.
The FIBA 3×3 Nations League will be a qualification route to the 2025 FIBA 3×3 U23 World Cup. Conference winners will qualify for the event, set for Sept. 17-21 in Xiong An, China. The rest of the teams will come from the winners of each conference and the next teams in the 2025 FIBA 3×3 Nations League final standings.
