USC Upsets UCLA in Historic Victory, JuJu Watkins Shines
UCLA's first loss of the season leaves South Carolina as the last undefeated team in the country.
- No. 9 USC beat No. 2 UCLA for the first time in 10 tries, giving UCLA its first loss of the season and exacting revenge for their defeat two weeks ago in Westwood.
- USC's freshman sensation JuJu Watkins had a game-high 32 points in the 73-65 victory.
- UCLA's loss means that South Carolina is the last remaining undefeated team in the country.
- The Trojans came out fast, forcing 15 first-half turnovers and scoring 16 points off those giveaways.
- USC's effort in the paint needs to be lauded, with USC’s leading rebounder Rayah Marshall out with an illness, the Bruins’ paint advantage was even more significant on paper.
