Former Iowa star Kate Martin rocked Gamecocks gear for Aces teammate A’Ja Wilson ahead of preseason game in South Carolina

With news that Las Vegas Aces superstar A’Ja Wilson is finally getting her own Nike shoe, some of her Aces teammates rocked South Carolina gear to support her during the team’s preseason.

Recent 2024 WNBA Draft pick Kate Martin of Iowa women’s basketball fame was among those supporting Wilson’s college team, which is really fascinating because of the on-court rivalry those two teams have had in the women’s NCAA tournament the past few years.

While South Carolina and Iowa aren’t necessarily big fans of each other on game days, Martin is now a teammate to one of the biggest names in women’s basketball in Wilson.

Plus, the Aces are playing in South Carolina against Puerto Rico for a preseason game, so the support is all the more endearing.

She’s used to playing with a great talent like Caitlin Clark, so being able to play with and support Wilson now is as good a reason as any to represent South Carolina for a day.

Hey, if we played with someone as great as Wilson on the court, we’d be ready to wear an opposing college team’s gear, too!
