USC women's basketball star JuJu Watkins has broken the NCAA freshman scoring record while facing UConn during heated NCAA March Madness Elite Eight game.
USC women's basketball star JuJu Watkins has made hoops history. Watkins has officially broken the NCAA D1 women's college basketball scoring record. The record, set by San Diego State's Tina Hutchinson in 1984, lasted 40 years before Watkins broke it. Watkins broke the record on the big stage, as USC went up against UConn during their NCAA Elite Eight appearance this year. She hit the record-setting three-point shot in the second quarter.
Along with setting the all-time freshman scoring record, Watkins set multiple school records, despite playing for a USC program that has featured plenty of prior great players, including Cheryl Miller and Lisa Leslie. Watkins set the Trojans' single-game scoring record when she scored 51 points against Stanford, one of the top competitors in college basketball. She also broke the record for most games with 30 or more points by a USC freshman, with 14 such games heading into the Elite Eight.
