USC's women's basketball team is continuing on even without the incredible JuJu Watkins, who shockingly tore her ACL earlier in the women's March Madness NCAA tournament.
But they have Watkins on the sidelines with them, including in the win over Kansas State and perhaps for their next opponent, the always-tough UConn Huskies with superstar Paige Bueckers.
They had a Funko Pop version of Watkins with them on the bench. This is the best. If she can't be there in person, then she can be there in spirit.
Here's a look at how the broadcast spotlighted the tribute to the fallen star.
