JuJu Watkins makes basketball history as USC powers past UCLA

Following the game, USC's JuJu Watkins, who had struggled in four earlier games, etched her name in basketball across all divisions as she became the first player in this century to finish a game with 35+ points, 10+ rebounds, 5+ assists, 5+ blocks and 5+ 3-pointers.

In addition, the 6’2” sophomore surpassed the 1,500 career-point mark and recorded her 15th career double-double, making her the 13th all-time scorer at USC with a total of 1,507 points.

“It took everything," the Los Angeles-born guard said after the game. "It’s been a rough couple of weeks for me and to be able to kind of snap back into it and get into my rhythm here in Galen versus UCLA, it’s really all I could ask for.

“It’s such an opportunity to play our rivalry school and then play a number one team. It was really important. Like I said, these last couple of weeks were hard for me on the court. So just to be able to lock in and have fun out there tonight, I am great right now,” Watkins added.

Watkins and USC will hope to continue their winning streak as they visit Washington on Sunday.
