JuJu Watkins Shines as USC Defeats Ohio State in Top-10 Clash
What a game it was! USC took on Ohio State in a massive top-10 showdown, and all eyes were on the rising superstar, JuJu Watkins. Coming into the game, Watkins had already established herself as one of the best players in women’s college basketball, averaging an impressive 24.2 points per game. And while this wasn’t her most dominant offensive performance, she still made a major impact in USC’s 84-63 victory over the Buckeyes.
Watkins finished the night with 17 points, but it wasn’t her most efficient shooting display. She hit just five of her 21 attempts from the field, including a tough 1-for-6 from beyond the arc. But great players find ways to contribute, and Watkins did just that—grabbing 10 rebounds, dishing out three assists, and adding a block and a steal to her stat sheet. Even on an off night, she helped her team control the game.

For Ohio State, Cotie McMahon was a force, showcasing her elite slashing ability and scoring 19 points. The Buckeyes entered the game with a strong record and a top-tier defense, but USC’s depth and overall execution proved too much. Kiki Iriafen, another key piece for the Trojans, played a big role in keeping the momentum on USC’s side.
Looking at the bigger picture, this win solidifies USC’s position as a legitimate national contender. They’ve been in excellent form all season, and Watkins continues to prove why she’s the next big name in women’s basketball. The Trojans are now 21-2, and with the regular season winding down, every game carries major weight as they push toward tournament play.
It’s hard not to be excited about what’s ahead for Watkins and USC. She’s already had some jaw-dropping performances this season, including a 35-point explosion against Penn State, and she’s only getting better. If this team can clean up turnovers and maintain their defensive intensity, they’ll be a tough matchup for anyone in March.
This game was a statement—USC is for real, and JuJu Watkins is just getting started.
