USC Women's Basketball Vs Utah: How To Watch, Predictions And More

Can the Trojans improve to 14-1?

Tonight, JuJu Watkins and the rest of your No. 6-ranked USC Trojans head to the Jon M. Huntsman Center, where they will square off against the No. 20-ranked Utah Utes.

USC currently owns a spectacular 13-1 record on the young season (3-1 in the Pac-12), while the Utes are a hardy 12-5 (2-3 in the conference).

The Women of Troy overall lead their career series against the Utes 18-9, but dropped their most recent encounter, an 83-73 road defeat a year ago in Salt Lake City.

Tune into the action on the Pac-12 Mountain channel, with Krista Blunk and Maylana Martin Douglas supplying commentary. 

Beyond Watkins, junior center Rayah Marshall has emerged as a formidable defensive anchor. She has now accrued the third-most blocks in program history (195), behind only Hall of Famers Lisa Leslie and Cheryl Miller. Grad student forward McKenzie Forbes and senior guard Kayla Williams have also emerged as major contributors, though more as scorers.

Watkins, already a record-breaking nine-time Pac-12 Freshman of the Week honoree, has led her team in scoring in every game. She's scored 30 or more points in six games, already shattering her own freshman record for the program.

The action tips off at 6 p.m. PT. Look for USC to sew up its 14th victory of the year, but it's going to be a narrow one. Let's call it 68-65.
