JuJu Watkins Shines in Historic Performance as USC Upsets No. 1 UCLA

The sophomore guard delivered a record-breaking game, leading the Trojans past their undefeated rivals in a heated showdown.

JuJu Watkins scored 35 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and recorded eight blocks, five assists, and a steal in USC's 71-60 victory over No. 1 UCLA.
Watkins became the first player in over 20 years to achieve a stat line of 35 points, 5 blocks, and 5 assists in a single game, and the only player this century to do so with 10 rebounds.
The win marked USC's first victory over a top-ranked team since 1983 and handed UCLA its first loss of the season.
Despite her dominant performance, Watkins remained humble, crediting her teammates and reflecting on overcoming a recent shooting slump.
The rivalry game featured a packed Galen Center crowd, notable celebrity attendees, and intense on-court moments, highlighting the growing prominence of women's college basketball.
