USC women’s basketball analyst reviews Penn State win, JuJu Watkins’ elite performance

Our USC women’s basketball analyst, CeCe Clay, has another 10-minute video breaking down the Trojans’ 22-point win over Penn State.

USC women’s basketball is still a work in progress. There are facets of basketball in which the Trojans need to improve as they continue with their season. However, the Women of Troy are doing a lot of things right. At 16-1 and 6-0 in the Big Ten, their season is very much on schedule in the middle of January. JuJu Watkins definitely played like a superstar this past Sunday against Penn State, hitting 13 of 15 field goals and pouring in 35 points while also pulling down 11 rebounds. That’s elite ball. USC women’s basketball analyst Cece Clay, who is working with us on our Trojans: Wired podcasts during this women’s hoops season, has produced another 10-minute TikTok game review segment on her channel.

CeCe looks at JuJu Watkins’ majestic performance and highlights how well she and Kiki Iriafen played against Penn State. Iriafen scored 28 points, meaning that she and JuJu combined for 63 of USC’s 95 points. That’s the 1-2 punch the Trojans hoped for when this season began.

As we noted above, however, this is still a team which has not reached its ceiling. There are ways for this group to improve. CeCe focused on a few items, one key pressure point being the need to stop the ball and contain opposing guards on the dribble.

Get that and a lot more in this detail-rich, analytics-filled analysis from CeCe. Be sure to check out our latest podcast in which CeCe provides an additional evaluation of the Penn State game. We also talk about the week off this team will get due to the postponement of the game against Northwestern. We include a final segment on this Sunday’s upcoming road game versus Indiana.
