JuJu Watkins Breaks NCAA 30-Point Record

JuJu Watkins, the 19-year-old sophomore guard for the No. 6 USC Trojans, is making waves in women's college basketball following her record-breaking performance against Saint Louis, where she scored 34 points, leading her team to a 104-65 victory. This achievement marked her as the fastest player in the past decade to reach 15 career 30-point games. Despite a slight dip in scoring this season, Watkins has maintained impressive averages and credits her growth to improved basketball IQ and maturity.

Her growing prominence in the sport positions her as a potential future star, alongside established talents like Caitlin Clark and A’ja Wilson.
