🔼 This Makes Two. Trojan standout JuJu Watkins has scored her second Big Ten Player of the Week award following an all-around performance that helped the No. 7 Trojans beat No. 4 UConn for the first time in program history. Watkins scored a game-high 25 points in the 72-70 road win over the Huskies in front of a sold-out crowd to hand UConn their first loss at home since February 2023.
