JuJu Watkins scored 23 points in her NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament debut, leading No. 1 seed USC to an 87-55 blowout victory over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Saturday night. The Trojans also got 23 points from McKenzie Forbes in a first-round game they dominated from the opening tip. The 16th-seeded Islanders scored the first basket, then the Trojans took over. Watkins hit a 3-pointer for her first points to launch a 21-0 run in which five different players scored.
Kayla Padilla hit consecutive 3-pointers and Forbes made two straight 3s of her own with Watkins on the bench resting. Watkins was 8-of-18 from the floor and 1-of-6 from 3-point range. She made 6-of-7 free throws, had five rebounds, four assists, four blocks and two steals before sitting down with 3:37 remaining. Watkins, an Associated Press All-American, has seen about every defensive scheme possible this season, but there was little the Islanders could do to contain her.
