USC gets an early shot of confidence from JuJu Watkins on its way to a win over Kansas and a spot in the Sweet 16 of the women's NCAA Tournament.
JuJu Watkins scored Southern California's first seven points of the game, giving her team a shot of confidence.
Freshman S’Mya Nichols scored 22 points for the Jayhawks . Taiyanna Jackson had 10 points and 18 rebounds. Kansas fell to 0-6 all-time when facing a No. 1 seed in the tournament. “Their physicality not only wore down Taiyanna, but wore down our team a little bit,” Jayhawks coach Brandon Schneider said. “Even when we could get to the rim it was hard to finish.”
Watkins got off to a sizzling start with the crowd chanting “USC! USC!” The Trojans ran off 12 straight points over the end of the first and start of the second quarter, capped by Watkins' 3-pointer that extended USC's lead to 24-9.
