JuJu Watkins leads USC to a historic victory over undefeated UCLA with a dominant 38-point performance.

USC's JuJu Watkins scored 38 points and recorded eight blocks, ending UCLA's undefeated season with a 71-60 victory at the Galen Center.
This marks USC's first win over a No. 1-ranked team since the 1983 national championship game against Louisiana Tech.
