It's been a busy week for USC Trojans women's basketball star JuJu Watkins. The sophomore guard picked up a huge win over the UConn Huskies and Paige Bueckers, and Watkins was named the Big Ten Player of the Week for the second time this season.

The Associated Press national player of the week in women’s basketball for Week 7 of the season: The sophomore guard shined in the Trojans' 72-70 victory over UConn, scoring 25 points with six rebounds, five assists and three blocks. She had 15 points in the first half and then had a key assist down the stretch to give USC the lead for good.

USC jumped out to an early 9-0 lead to and watched it balloon to eighteen at 51-33 by the early stages of the third quarter. Juju scored 19 of her 25 points during that span and did so from the midrange, around the basket and beyond the arc.

On Saturday night, the USC women’s basketball team earned a statement victory over UConn on the road. Following the performance, accolades and recognition have begun to come in for the Trojans. At the center of it all has been star sophomore guard Juju Watkins.

JuJu Watkins didn’t smile like some of her other teammates throughout warm-ups Saturday. It seemed like she was in her own little world.

With future pros dotting the rosters, Watkins and USC get revenge on Paige Bueckers and U-Conn after last year’s Elite Eight matchup.

The Trojans moved up three spots in the AP Top 25 after beating the then-No. 4 Huskies 72-70 on Saturday night in a rematch of last season’s Elite Eight game that UConn won.

JuJu Watkins finishes with 25 points as USC holds off a second-half surge by No. 4 UConn to earn its biggest win of the young season in a 72-70 victory.
