USC’s JuJu Watkins Collects 12th Pac-12 Women’s Basketball Freshman of the Week Award
February 12, 2024 | Women's Basketball
Another 30-point outing helps secure another accolade for the freshman, who has also been named to the Dawn Staley Award Later Season Watch List.
USC freshman guard JuJu Watkins extends her list of 2023-23 awards with yet another Pac-12 Women's Basketball Freshman of the Week honor — her 12th of the season — along with selection to the Dawn Staley Award Later Season Watch List.
Last week, Watkins scored over 30 points for the eighth time this season, pinning up 31 in USC's 81-63 win over Arizona State, to help land her 12th Pac-12 Freshman of the Week award. The effort tied Watkins for the most 30-plus scoring outings by a Trojan since Cherie Nelson had eight as a senior in 1988-89. She also added five assists, seven rebounds and two steals for USC against the Sun Devils.
Watkins stands as the No. 2 scorer in the nation with 27.5 points per game. Her USC record-setting 51 points scored in USC's win at Stanford stands as the most points scored by any Division I player in a game this season. She's led the No. 10 Women of Troy in 19 games this season, and her eight 30-plus scoring efforts has set a new record for such performances by a USC true freshman. Watkins leads USC in scoring, assists (3.5 per game) and steals (2.7 per game) and is tied for first on the team in 3-pointers made (42). She's also second on the team in rebounding (6.9 per game) and blocks (1.6 per game).
