The UCLA Bruins (23-1) are undefeated no more. The Bruins lost their first game of the year on Thursday night to their crosstown rival No. 6 USC (22-2). UCLA simply could not stop that phenom, JuJu Watkins. The stellar sophomore scored 38 points with 11 rebounds, five assists, and eight blocks. With that sensational performance, Watkins might have vaulted herself past UCLA’s Lauren Betts for College Player of the Year.
UCLA cannot dwell on the loss, as they have a quick turnaround against the No. 22 Michigan State Spartans (19-5). Michigan St. started the season strong with a 17-3 record. However, Sparty is only 2-2 in their last four games, with losses to Oregon and Michigan. Michigan St.’s Grace Vanslooten is coming off a terrific 22-point performance in the Spartans’ 91-71 win over the Wisconsin Badgers.
While Michigan St. and UCLA will only play once in the regular season, they could face each other again at the Big Ten championship next month.
