The University of Wisconsin Badgers (11-12, 2-10 Big Ten) couldn’t pull off a second consecutive upset at the Kohl Center, falling to JuJu Watkins and No. 7 USC (20-2, 10-1) 86-64 on Wednesday. While Watkins held most of the spotlight leading up to the contest, it was the Trojans’ supporting cast that downed Wisconsin.
Watkins’ 14 points were her fewest in a game this season, and the superstar guard shot merely 4-for-11 from the field and didn’t log an assist. Instead, four other USC players scored in double figures.
Although the Badgers were pleased with their defensive effort against Watkins, they acknowledged their need to grow further on that end.
