USC Trojans freshman superstar JuJu Watkins, hot off an All-American season in which she was honored with the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award (given to the nation’s best shooting guard), in addition to being named to the All-Pac-12 Team, the Pac-12 All-Defensive Team, and being honored as the USBWA National Freshman of the Year.
But she fell short of her ultimate goal, despite this rash of individual accolades: win it all. USC finished with a stellar 29-6 record and an 80-73 Elite Eight defeat at the hands of the University of Connecticut Huskies in the Big Dance.
The Trojans will face Michigan, Iowa, Penn State, Minnesota, Michigan State, Wisconsin, and Ohio State all at home at the Galen Center. They will have to travel to go up against Nebraska, Northwestern, Maryland, Purdue, Rutgers, Illinois, and Indiana. The trip to Maryland will be one of the furthest for the Trojans all season, with USC having to fly across the country for that game.
