USC heads into offseason looking to rebuild after March Madness exit

For the second straight year, USC's season ended against UConn in the Elite Eight. And this time around, the Trojans didn't have Juju Watkins to help them fight back.

Watkins, the Big Ten Player of the Year, was back home in Los Angeles watching the No 2 seed Huskies roll past the top-seeded Trojans 78-64 in the women's NCAA tournament after sustaining a season-ending ACL tear in the second round.

Without Watkins, USC managed to grind out a 67-61 win over No 5 Kansas State in the Sweet 16 on Saturday, but a battle-tested UConn team proved too much to handle.
