Southern Cal 72 UConn 70 (Women)

[Tranquility Base]

Great game!!  SC led by 18 with 7 minutes left in the third.  UConn scrapped back and held several leads late.

Paige may be the #1 pick in the next WNBA draft, but she was the third best player on the floor tonight.  JuJu Watkins and Sarah Strong were both tremendous tonight.  Watkins is the real deal.

Wow, nice game for Southern Cal and no doubt about it a huge win. Read that the ratings for this game were through the roof!

@Tranquility Base I'll be the first to say I just caught bits and pieces, but completely agree about Watkins and Strong. Especially Sarah Strong. Many draft projections show that if underclassmen were eligible for the WNBA draft, Strong would likely be the #1 pick. She is about everything you could want in a basketball player. She scores, she rebounds, it's tough to double her because of her court vision, she can block shots, and off the rebound she can get the ball downcourt quickly. She is a special player and is gifted in just about all aspects of the game while also having the mind of a polished leader.
