USC superstar JuJu Watkins tore her ACL last night facing Mississippi State in the second round of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament and was literally carried off the court and into the locker room. She will miss the remainder of the tourney and is looking at up to eight months of rehabilitation before she can get back on the court. It’s a big blow to women’s hoops as they will be missing an emerging superstar at the worst possible time.
Dan Patrick: “It’s just a shame because you want to see the great players, but this hurt the sport last night...This was a loss for the sport itself.”
