JuJu Watkins just surpassed Caitlin Clark.
The superstar sophomore guard for the No. 2 USC Trojans is officially the second-highest point scorer through two seasons in NCAA history, behind only Kelsey Mitchell.
JuJu Watkins Rises to No. 2 in Points Scored in First Two Seasons
Watkins, who has an NIL valuation nearing $1 million through deals with brands including Nike, Gatorade, AT&T, and Degree Deodorant, just can’t stop scoring.
The superstar guard averages 24.6 points per game, including a season-high 40 points against the California Baptist Lancers earlier this year. With 29 points last night in a loss against the No. 4 UCLA Bruins in the Big Ten Tournament Final, Watkins surpassed the all-time great Clark’s 1,662 points through two seasons with 1,684.

Watkins now only trails Mitchell’s 1,762 by 78 points, which she could reach in about four games at her current pace — right around the Elite Eight.
USC is currently slated to play its first two games at home as a No. 1 seed in Region 3 of the NCAA tournament, according to ESPN bracketologist Charlie Creme.
Their route to the Elite Eight would see them face either California or Mississippi State in the Round of 32, then a likely matchup against either No. 19 Kansas State or No. 25 Ole Miss in the Sweet 16.
In the Elite Eight, No. 9 NC State and No. 11 Oklahoma would be the most likely matchups before a potential rematch with the Bruins in the Final Four.

Watkins has added 6.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.2 steals, and 1.9 blocks per game en route to being one of the greatest players on the court day in and day out.
