JuJu Watkins becomes the fourth fastest player in NCAA Division I women's basketball history to reach 1,000 points in USC's 81-50 win over Santa Clara.
At the end of a historically dominant week that saw records toppled and the whole of women’s college basketball put on early notice, JuJu Watkins pulled up from behind the arc in Friday’s game and bricked. She missed her next jumper, too. Then a lay-up. Then another three-pointer. It was an uncharacteristically cold stretch, considering the scorching week that had come before it for USC. Watkins and her fellow Trojans had just exploded for a record 125 points in a win over Cal State Northridge.
Because the people that you’re breaking the record from are so great. And JuJu belongs in that conversation,” USC coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. “I don’t want to say we take her accolades for granted. But sometimes, it’s like, ‘Wow she’s four games into her sophomore year and has scored 1,000 points.’ It’s really an incredible accomplishment.” USC has had no trouble making the incredible look cavalier over the past week, ever since its narrow season-opening win over Ole Miss.
