JuJu Watkins finishes with 28 points as the top-seeded USC women defeat Kansas to reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1994.
She banked in the final exclamation point and JuJu Watkins could finally relax. USC’s star freshman smirked and shook her head as she backpedaled on defense. She wouldn’t be denied. Watkins sent the Trojans to their first Sweet 16 since 1994, scoring 28 points in USC’s 73-55 win over No. 8 Kansas in the second round of the Portland 3 Region of the NCAA tournament Monday at Galen Center.
The Jayhawks, who stormed back from a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit in the first round against Michigan, cut USC’s lead to one with 1:20 remaining in the third quarter. With a bright red scratch on her right cheek, Watkins calmly responded. The freshman scored five points in USC’s 6-0 run to end the third quarter.
