WATCH: USC superstar JuJu Watkins gets lost in the crowd as fans flock to Trojans guard for autographs

Despite USC's 68-74 defeat at the hands of No. 18 Utah at the Galen Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, JuJu Watkins set a milestone. She secured 30 points and now has a total of 705 points, which is a new freshman record in a single season.

The 18-year-old also broke the 39-year-old record of the veteran Trojan Cheryl Miller with her 30-point game against Colorado on Friday, which garnered the attention of basketball big shots such as Lebron James and A'ja Wilson.

After the Utah game, Watkins, along with her teammate McKenzie Forbes, was surrounded by a huge set of fans who wanted the two players' autographs. Fans apparently waited for more than an hour to meet their beloved stars outside the Galen Center.

"JuJu Watkins and McKenzie Forbes mobbed for autographs outside the Galen Center an hour-plus after USC’s game against Utah Sunday afternoon," Luca Evans wrote on X.

Forbes scored 10 points while Kaitlyn Davis added 13 points and eight rebounds. These three were the only players who delivered double-digit scores on Sunday.
