USC shocks undefeated UCLA: JuJu Watkins delivers signature performance as Trojans rise to first in Big Ten
No. 6 USC claimed a 71-60 upset win over No. 1 UCLA on Thursday, handing the Bruins their first loss of the season. JuJu Watkins shined with one of the best two-way performances in decades.
Watkins finished the night with 38 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, eight blocks and a steal. That performance also included eight 3-pointers. After a bit of an offensive slump over the last month, it was exactly the performance she needed.
"It took everything," Watkins said during her postgame interview. "It's been a rough couple weeks for me, and to be able to kind of snap back into it and get into my rythm here at Galen versus UCLA, it's really all I could ask for. I have the greatest teammates and I'm just glad we were able to get it done tonight."
That was Watkins' fifth 30-point game of the season and 19th of her career. As one of the top candidates for Player of the Year, she certainly improved her chances Thursday.
