At full strength, college basketball statistician Bart Torvik would favor USC by 7.1 points against K-State on a neutral court. Without her, the betting line only favors the Trojans by 1.5. That means Watkins is worth roughly six points to the spread.

After days of excitment over reaching the Sweet 16, the K-State women's basketball team is ready to focus on the next test against USC.

Saturday night, No. 5 seed K-State will take on No. 1 Seed USC in Spokane Region 4 for the right to advance to the Elite 8. K-State has only been to the Elite 8 one time in program history (1982). Ayoka Lee, the Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year, has spent seven years with the Wildcats. She says getting to the Sweet 16 is like a dream come true.
