- USC WBB's Lindsay Gottlieb, JuJu Watkins, and McKenzie Forbes spoke to the media following their final game of the 2023-2024 season.
The fact that Juju committed to USC when they have been irrelevant for years shows you she's a winner. Didn't go to a program that has been established and has been winning. Instead she made USC relevant and didn't take any easy routes. Respect young lady. I'm a big fan. Also the way she's that hurt that her team lost tells you how much she cares about the game and how badly she wants to win.
When Men lose they chest bump and move on. When women lose a Big Game, they cry, because teammates are FAMILY..It does sting today! Tomorrow is another day!
@@johnhoin5565women are emotional, I’m a woman so ik, we just care deeply
@@desixox That's why I love women's basketball, they have an emotional bond with each other . When a player is injured, they huddle around the player protecting, giving comfort untill they are carted off. They hold hands in a time out as a team , listening to a screaming coach trying to stop/slow down Clark !
I like Uconn . They were able to slow down Juju , forcing other players to shoot . They have a pretty good shooter themselves, i hear. PB
@@johnhoin5565 yes!!!!!
@@johnhoin5565eh, I’ve cried after losing tough football games deep in the season. It’s happens to us all
JU JU will be back bigger, better and stronger next year she is a winner....
Juju as an Iowa fan, Clark and Iowa got eliminated in the sweet sixteen as a freshmen, and look at the tremendous improvement, growth, and maturity that she displayed over the years. I think you will do great things. Keep on, keep your head high, and I envision USC will be a final four team multiple times over in the future.
I know losing the game was rough but this has been a wonderful season with an amazing team. I'm excited to see how the program evolves with Juju and Coach Gottlieb. ✌
Love You Women of Troy; Very Proud of the USC Womens Basketball Program . Youll be Back .Peace and Blessings Fight On Always✌️💯🙏❤️💛
Keep your head up you girls did amazing you kept fighting still the end. Juju you had a great season. Fight on !!!! ✌️✌️✌️
JuJu is only a Freshman! WOW, that's scary. 18 already 6'2 possibly getting taller and her skills are already top level ALL she needs is experience and as that comes, look out WNBA and the World.
GREAT JOB JUJU!!! YOU WILL BE BACK, CONTINUE FOCUS AND IMPROVE YOUR GAME. HAVE THAT MAMBA MENTALITY.
Be proud ladies of troy... im a SC fan first but i really love what you guys are building... yall play with so much passion... hold your heads high!!!!
Much respect to these players. Hold your heads high. Welcome to the Big 10, USC. We all look forward to seeing what you will accomplish in the years to come!
Man I feel so bad for Juju, her crying made me cry frl. It’s okay tho, you gon be back in this same position I promise you🤞🏾🙏🏾
So much parity in women’s college basketball, they seem to just continue to grow college basketball
My Ju Ju, you’ll be fine. Great competitor, you had a great run as freshman. Very impressive,
As a UCONN fan, I am so impressed with Lindsay Gottlieb and this USC team, both on and off the court. This is a class program and a great example for young girls and college basketball as a whole. Good luck in your future.
Ladies you made us all proud. You showed class in winning and in loss. Alumni are so happy for all you achieved. Fight on.
Keep your heads up, ladies 🙌🏽
Great Season The Women of Troy Basketball Team, Head Coach, Coaching Staff, Program The Future Is Bright Moving Forward I’m Definitely Proud of This Year
There Is Nothing To Be a Shame Off Seriously ✌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Also My Shoutout To The Seniors as Well We Are Definitely Gonna Missed Y’all So Very Much 2024 Final PAC12 Women’s Tournament Champions 🏆 Never Ever Take That Away as Well Next Year Gonna Be Very Stronger 💪
Juju is going to be the face of women’s basketball. I know this was a tough moment for her because she wanted to win, but trust me she will be back here next year and I can’t wait!
As a UConn fan, I love this team and coach
Those two women are amazing. They gotta deal with JuJu with extra motivation for years
She doesn't need to try to hide her face, let them see the FIRE on your Hurt and Tears Show them what you trying to hide there's absolutely no shame in you tears Jesus Wept...
Its ok big JU we get em next year!!!
All them ladies played a good game.... Ju Ju Watkins and USC Time is coming
She'd a tear watching these ladies so hurt😢
Amazing season !!!!!!!! I am so excited for the future !!!!!!!!
FIGHT ON
Yes the season was great and she has to learn and move on DONT let the tears be your way of saying HEY BE EASY ON ME I JUST LOST A IMPORTANT GAME OR YOU HAVE TO LET ME HAVE MY WAY I JUST GOT BEAT IN A BALL GAME IM HURTING over something you choose to do in life and this is part of a lesson that’s a life lesson, there will be ups and downs and the world doesn’t revolve around you Star or just another ball player the Basketball should be secondary to your education every young person should now that on a Real note and tears aren’t suppose to get you your way and sympathy can be a two edge blade. As a child some of us got punished more because we cried and surely there’s nothing wrong with that emotion make sure that you get yourself through this and come to terms with that emotion so it can actually myeloma make you a stronger person when it comes to feel as a failure… And that ladies and Gents that’s a Story for another Day. I hope one day she can be one our leaders in a country that needs them and Basketball would be just a part of you that you had fun doing and you’re pleasing You…
I didn't start watching female basketball Untill Ju ju Watkins.I believe ju ju will take this lost & come bk better then ever next year. will always be a hug fan & follower.❤
Big Congrats to the Women of Troy Basketball team! Looking forward to see what great things the team will do next year! Fight On!
Can’t wait for the next season to start!! You ladies did Awesome this season!! Next season is going to be even better than this season!!🥰
JU JU U R ONE OF A KIND MY LADY AND I WAS SO PROUD 2 WATCH U COMPETE ❤❤143
Fight on Ladies of Troy✌️✌️✌️✌️
juju had a heck of a season love you juju keep balling see you next season.
What are you talking about Forbes was excellent , as she has been all season. Paige b reminded peopl why she is player of year caliber when healthy. Up in was more experienced and played their a game-if they bring that same intensity energy and shooting for two mroe games they are champs. I will say this uconn played A level defense, USC B level defense. No surprise there.
Paige definitely got that killer mentality in the fourth. Daggers after daggers for us😢
Proud to be a trojans great run women of Troy ✌️
This team is young AF. No shame in that loss. It all came down to experience in the end. Hell, even Gottleib is young. No way was she gonna outcoach the Legendary Gino Auriemma in a close game. No shame at all. I'm proud of this team. And I'm delighted to witness JuJu Watkins as a Trojan. I'm a Trojan FB Fan and don't watch their BBall programs much if at all. I was a kid when Cheryl Miller was there so I didn't really watch her much until the Olympics. The only player that had me watching USC Basketball game to game, was Harold Miner. JuJu is the second player to instantly turn me into not only a Trojan BBall fan, but a College BBall fan. I don't watch the men's tourney. THere's nobody in Mens College BBall I'd pay to watch. They all go to the pros after one year, and some don't go at all and just play in the G-League/Overseas. I'd pay to watch JuJu. I'd pay to watch Caitlyn. I'd pay to watch Bueckers, I'd pay to watch Flau'Jae Johnson...It's all about stars. Make stars, and you'll make fans, and then you'll make $$$$. It's that simple. JuJu is a bonafied star.
❤her teamates kinda hated on her . They didn't pass her the ball 🏀 at times .. they wanted shots too..
She was getting blitzed every time she got the ball only way to stop that is if others are getting buckets. Did you watch the game?
What a classy coach. No opposing coaches ever give credit to Geno due to their jealousy. Go Huskies but your future is bright with this lady leading your program.
JuJu need to get drafted by the NBA with that skill set them woman can’t match up love you Ju
Amazing team ❤️💛
So proud to be a Trojan fan!! See you at Galen next season!
Champs next season
She’s so cute 😍
#1 Recruiting class to add around JuJu.. Big10 Put on Notice 😂.. ✌🏽
Juju 😂😂😂😂 ❤
❤i wish they would have passed juju the ball 🏀 more they took some bad shots..
With Caitlyn and Angel Gone they’ll be aight next year
So if Ju ju enters the transfer portal i hope she comes to LSU please ju ju please 📖👍
Great players hate losing more than they like winning, so Ju Ju tears are probably from hating to lose, next year she will be hard to beat.
damn bro who cutting onions ?
Sad that incompetent coaching cost kids glory. JuJU going 9 minutes without attempting a DAMN SHOT IS EMBARRASSING AND ALL ON THE COACH PERIOD
damn it feel like kobe came back as a female n it’s scary
McKenzie balled out kept them in the game the whole game if a couple of juju buckets would have went in definitely would be different results as well as this if they ran back and juju jumper was on they would beat UConn easily unfortunately it's one game and you out
No, they handed it to them. UConn missed 6 straight free throws during a crucial window, and only made 4 of 10 down the stretch, leaving the door wide open. USC proceeded to dribble off their foot and miss 3 straight shots. They handed it to them.
Her teammates are doo doo. Time to leave
Definitely one of the worst shooting in history. 17-53 with 6 total assists in her last 2 games. 39% for the season. Inside the arch
Coach Gottlieb should be fired and be replaced with Kellie Harper, the former coach of Tennessee women's team who was just fired on Monday, because Gottlieb has no experience coaching for or against the teams from the conferences in the eastern half of the U.S. with most competitive basketball teams, whereas Harper does.
Gottlieb brought them to elite 8 . Give her RESPECT! Harper started from somewhere too !! Gottlieb will continue to grow with the team! Great job Women USC
If you fire coach G then Juju would leave too. She's part of the reason why JuJu came to SC.
You are COMPLETELY NUTS!!! Kellie had Rikea and still lost her job... she also has serious recruiting issues... Tennessee has deep pockets and she still lure anyone to Tennessee... they should keep Coach Got and let her grow with her program
❤her teamates didn't pass juju the ball 🏀 can't coach that
I am not sure why ppl get on the Internet and embarrass themselves commenting on things that they have no clue about. Coach G. is a Top 5 Coach in the nation. She had great pedigree coming in - having taken a team with no heritage in WBB to the Final Four at Cal and being one of the extremely few women to ever coach in the NBA. She is an Outstanding Recruiter - convincing JuJu to stay home and come to USC and bringing in the #1 Class in the nation for 2024. Not to mention, if you watched this team throughout the season, Coach G made excellent in-game decisions. She is likely the Best Basketball Coach - male or female - that 'SC has had in the past 30+ years. We are Fortunate to have her!!
Juju played sloppy....tighten things up in the off-season.
Probably her best game in the tourney IMO🤷♂️ She has some questionable shots towards the end, but that's when they were already playing from behind.
The turnovers and lack of securing a bucket on takeaways is what killed them.
❤naw her teamates took shots they shouldn't have ...
@@ckpdetailwashanddetail6739 true
@@ckpdetailwashanddetail6739 True, but Juju took some bad shots as well and she needs to get more focused on her scoring. She's seems lackadaisical at times. She practices with NBA guys all the time, so she should be able to hit these shots in the women's game.
@@ronwilliams5907 bro juju bad shots had a better chance than all they ... Me2 shots that they didn't make .. never had a chance of going in ...
Hopefully Juju can learn how to stop being a selfish ball hog who shoots 8/29 per game
