During its NCAA Tournament second round matchup with Mississippi State Monday night, USC women's basketball had the worst possible outcome come to pass when superstar Juju Watkins had to be carried off the floor with an injury. After the game, the Trojans got the worst possible news regarding Watkins: Her season is over.
Late Monday night, USC announced that Watkins's injury is season ending, and that she will undergo surgery. Per Shams Charania of ESPN, she suffered a torn ACL.
It is an absolutely brutal development for the Trojans, who lose their best player at the worst possible time.
