Women’s Basketball is back and cooler than the other side of the pillow! The excitement is on max as the USC Trojans pull off a nail-biter win against Ole Miss at the Oui – Paris Tipoff, sliding by with a 68-66 victory! Last night was straight-up fire—star power, clutch moments, and fresh talent stepping up big. Let’s break it down, KMOB1003 style!
JuJu Watkins is Back and Ballin’ Out USC’s superstar JuJu Watkins was nothing short of phenomenal, dropping 27 points like it was light work. JuJu was putting on a show, hitting shots when it mattered, slicing to the hoop, and keeping that tempo turned up from the jump. USC fans, y’all better believe it—Watkins is on a mission, and she’s putting everyone on notice that the Trojans are a force this season.
Freshman Phenom: Kennedy Smith Brings the Heat And just when you thought it was all JuJu, Kennedy Smithsaid, “Hold up, I got this too!” The freshman made some big noise, showing why she’s ready for the spotlight. Smith was pulling down rebounds, knocking down shots, and playing with that calm confidence that says, “I’m here to stay.” USC’s depth is looking dangerous, and this dynamic duo is just warming up.
Ole Miss Battled Like Warriors Credit where credit’s due—Ole Miss didn’t come to Paris to play second fiddle. They fought tooth and nail, keeping it tight till the buzzer. This squad showed resilience, and though they came up short, they let everyone know they belong with the big dogs. Don’t sleep on Ole Miss—they’ll be back with even more fire in their game.
The Final Moment: Drama on High = We’re talking crunch time, y’all. With 0.7 seconds left on the clock, it was that hustle play by Watkins that sealed the deal. Sabonis-esque grit. That’s what gets it done when the game’s on the line. USC wanted it more, and JuJu, backed by her crew, made sure that W was coming home.
The Heat Is On—Season Just Getting Started! If last night’s thriller is any sign of what’s to come, we’re in for a wild ride in women’s college basketball. From vets like Watkins to the young stars like Smith, USC is bringing the heat.
