Watkins propelled USC into the round of 32, but her season was cut short due to a torn ACL in the second round win over Mississippi State. The Trojans shook off the loss of Watkins to beat Kansas State in the Sweet 16 before falling to UConn in the Elite Eight.
Had Watkins been available, USC certainly could have made a Final Four run.
