“I was like, all right,” Fulwiley said. “And I just felt like I was in high school, and that was my favorite move when I was in high school, so I just did it.” The team was 54.4% overall, better than all but seven of their 2022-23 games. Only one of those seven games was against a competitive NCAA tournament team when it was 57.4% against LSU in February.
