JuJu Watkins scores 25 as USC women hold off Paige Bueckers and UConn

• Watkins' Trojans win 72-70 over Bueckers' Huskies
• No 7 USC get best of No 4 Connecticut in Hartford

JuJu Watkins scored 25 points and No 7 USC recovered from blowing a 18-point lead in the second half to beat Paige Bueckers and fourth-ranked UConn 72-70 on Saturday night.

The game was a rematch of last season's Elite Eight contest that the Huskies won and featured two of the best players in women's college basketball with All-Americans Bueckers and Watkins. The pair guarded each other for most of the game.
