LOS ANGELES -- Azzi Fudd scored 17 points and No. 1 UConn routed 16th-ranked Southern California 79-51 on Saturday, snapping the Trojans' 20-game home winning streak with their best player on the bench watching.

USC held a brief 9-8 advantage midway through the first quarter, but UConn went on an impressive 15-0 run to take over the game—and they never looked back. The lead ballooned to as much as 39 points, as USC was unable to even score in double figures in the first and second quarters.

The Trojans are held to 17 points in the first half and never recover against the Huskies, who hold star freshman Jazzy Davidson to 10 points.

That run ended in a blowout, of course. With the national semifinal loss against – yep – UConn, who beat the Bruins 85-51, including holding them to a nine-point second quarter to match the Trojans’ nine-point first quarter Saturday.

Another key factor will be Londynn Jones. She started off a bit slow with USC, but in her last two games, she’s scored in double figures. If her shot is falling on Saturday against UConn, it’ll put USC in a position for success.
