USC's dominant victory over Elon showcased the team's defensive prowess, allowing only 30 points and forcing a season-high 25 turnovers, but raised questions about preparations for tougher opponents.
Despite the one-sided score, USC's coach Lindsay Gottlieb noted early lapses that resulted in open shots for Elon, highlighting areas for improvement before facing No. 2 Connecticut.
JuJu Watkins and Kiki Iriafen led the scoring with 26 and 18 points respectively, continuing their strong performances. USC's robust defense held Elon to just 21.2% shooting.
The Trojans' strategic adjustments, including varied lineups and aggressive play, resulted in a season-low for points allowed in a half from Elon, totaling just 12.
