Social media reaction to USC, JuJu Watkins giving No. 2 UCLA its first loss of 2024
The USC Trojans women’s basketball team defeated UCLA on Sunday in a jam-packed Galen Center. Lindsay Gottlieb finally got a win over the Bruins, and to make things better, it was UCLA’s first loss of the season.
JuJu Watkins was a superstar. Rayah Marshall missed the game, and yet the Trojans found a way to win.
They will more than likely move up in the rankings this upcoming week, as they should. They look more and more like a top-eight team in the country. That’s a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament if they remain on track.
After the game, fans were loving every second of it and enjoyed the victory.
Here’s how social media reacted to the big moment for the Women of Troy:
UNREAL
Lindsay Gottlieb says to the crowd: "This was un-f-ing believable."
Adds that JuJu Watkins is OK.
