Historic Performance by JuJu Watkins Keeps USC in No. 1 Seed Race
USC's JuJu Watkins delivers an outstanding performance to secure a vital victory against UCLA.
USC’s Tournament Hopes
If UCLA had clinched the win in their prior showdown, they would dominate the No. 1 seed discussion. Instead, JuJu Watkins shone bright, achieving a historic 38 points, 11 rebounds, and eight blocks against the once-unbeaten top-ranked team in the country. This marks USC’s second victory against an AP No. 1 team in its history.
A Historical Performance
JuJu’s statistics made headlines as she became the only player in the century across any league to record 35+ points, 10+ rebounds, 5+ assists, 5+ blocks, and 5+ 3-pointers in a single game. Her contribution was crucial as she led the charge in the final moments of the game.
