USC Basketball: JuJu Watkins Was Visited By Fan-Favorite Actor After Big Win Against Arizona

JuJu Watkins has a star-studded meeting after the Trojans' big win against Arizona.

There might be no one who is a bigger college sports star than USC Trojans star JuJu Watkins. 

Watkins continues to shine with her elite skill, securing and breaking records in her wake. During last night's victory against Arizona, the Trojans routed the Wildcats 81-64, and Watkins picked up yet another 30-point game. 

Her 31 points led the team and caught the attention of a beloved star who was attending the game at the Galen Center. The Galen Center often draws in big-name celebrities, and last night saw fan-favorite comedic actor Will Ferrell enjoy the game. 

After Watkin's big night, she was visited by Ferrell in the locker room. Watkins revealed her excitement to the Associated Press. 

"I love Will Ferrell. He’s one of the funniest people alive," Watkins said. "For him to know our names and how we’re doing is insane."

Ferrell is often attending games for multiple LA sports like the Los Angeles Kings, LAFC, and now the Trojans. 

He is a huge star and naturally found his way to greet one of the biggest college sports stars in Watkins. We would have also been a bit too excited to meet Ferrell. But we aren't putting up 30-point games like Watkins. 

It appears Watkins's legend just continues to grow.
