Balanced Scoring Effort

In addition to Watkins' outburst, four other Trojans scored in double figures. Freshman guard Rayah Marshall added 18 points, senior guard Destiny Littleton had 17 points, junior forward Kayla Overbeck scored 16 points, and junior center Emily Bessoir contributed 11 points.

Trojans Aim for National Title

With Watkins leading the way, the Trojans are considered one of the favorites to win the national championship this season. USC has won the Pac-12 Tournament the past two years and reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament last season.
