"Everyone breathing" - Aliyah Boston & WNBA stars stunned over MiLaysia Fulwiley's electrifying performance in South Carolina's Elite 8 push

Aliyah Boston found herself invested in her alma mater's Sweet 16 match in the NCAA Women's basketball tournament. Boston for the South Carolina Gamecocks from 2019 until 2023, winning a national championship during the 2021-22 season. Now, all Boston can do is watch from the sidelines, which she did as No. 1 South Carolina took on No. 4 Maryland Terrapins on Friday.

The defending national champions, Gamecocks, trailed 33-31 at halftime against the Terrapins, who led by as much as seven points. South Carolina fought back, winning the third quarter 21-17 and the fourth quarter 19-17 to clinch the 71-67 victory. MiLaysia Fulwiley led the Gamecocks to the Elite Eight, dropping 23 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

Boston shared her reactions on X to the Gamecocks' comeback victory:

"Everyone breathing? God is good and we on to the next!! Lay had a hell of a game"

Fellow WNBA Star and recent Unrivaled Finals MVP Chelsea Gray also shared some high praise for Fulwiley on X:

"MiLaysia what? Around the back"

Boston's fellow Indiana Fever teammate, Sydney Colson, shared her thoughts on X as well:

"Lay gotta stay in the game"

Fulwiley played a key role in securing South Carolina's win. Boston will be watching and hoping from the sidelines that Fulwiley and the Gamecocks can replicate her 2022 success and bring a national championship back to Columbia.
