Dunn, Davidson Lead USC to Big Wins
3 Feb
Summary
- Kara Dunn scored 18 points, ending her streak of 20+ point games.
- Jazzy Davidson remains USC's leader in points, assists, and rebounds.
- USC secured back-to-back wins, building momentum for tournament hopes.
The USC Trojans women's basketball team has found significant momentum, securing back-to-back victories in recent weeks. This surge has revitalized their hopes for an NCAA Tournament berth as they navigate a challenging February schedule.
Guard Kara Dunn, a Georgia Tech transfer, has been a key offensive force for the Trojans. Although her streak of seven consecutive 20-plus point games concluded with an 18-point performance against Rutgers on Sunday, she remains a vital scoring threat with a strong inside game and a team-leading 38.9% three-point shooting percentage.
Freshman sensation Jazzy Davidson has lived up to her billing as the top recruit in the 2025 class. She consistently contributes across the board, leading the team in points, assists, and rebounds per game. Davidson has scored in double figures for 19 consecutive games, including a 21-point outing in USC's upset victory over then No. 8 Iowa.
Dunn and Davidson are the only players to have started every game for USC this season, providing a reliable core. The team's recent success, including a dominant defensive performance against Rutgers, has put them firmly on the NCAA Tournament bubble.
Coach Lindsay Gottlieb expressed excitement about the team's trajectory, highlighting their toughness and coachability. With only seven regular season games remaining, USC's ability to secure consistent contributions from players beyond their star duo will be crucial for extending their season.
