What is the main topic of this episode?
Welcome to the Big Sui, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching band to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.
This episode of the Dan Lobitar Show with Stu Gatz is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
Who is Juju Watkins and why is her injury significant?
I am delighted to see this face again so soon. I hope that she comes around all the time. Elle Duncan, someone at ESPN that Zaslow is not feuding with and has never said anything bad about. I wanted to talk to her because I have been negligent in this first hour of, like, this was a bit of a devastating injury last night. I mean, not a bit of, like, when... When everyone's watching the sport and the best player in it, Juju Watkins, goes down with a knee injury and gets carried off the court, March Madness becomes like, oh, eee, how am I supposed to talk about and feel about all that? That just stinks. That's just a body breaking down, and I wanted to watch her win everything because I know she can. So anyways, Elle, thank you for being on with us.
And yeah, the heartbreak in that, how did that go down last night?
Well, it was really brutal. probably tmi but i was in the bathroom and you know i'm still wearing my ifb we do have to take pee breaks um and i had my ifb in and i thought i lost the broadcast because it was silent and i was like what's going on and then all of a sudden i started getting text messages i'm like trying to furiously wash my hands my producer's like
What are the implications of Juju Watkins' injury for USC?
get back to the studio, Juju just went down, it's bad, it looks really bad. And I was like, what? And so I run into the studio and you guys, the studio, which is normally, you know, especially with Shanae and Andrea, it's so joyful, so loud, like we're yelling, we're reacting. It matched the silence of the Galen Center. It was like, everyone was just sort of in a little bit disbelief. From what we do, from a professional level, it's devastating because it's Juju Watkins because we wanted this Elite Eight matchup rematch with UConn because, to your point, she's going to be the National Player of the Year and they're ahead of schedule. On a personal level, it's devastating because of everything that Juju's given to the game, how hard she's worked, choosing to go...
to a USC program that a lot of people scratched their head. Like why? They haven't been relevant since Lisa Leslie. And she strapped her city on her back. Like she made LA a basketball town again. And just to see that happen in the way that it happened, to see someone who is so famously unemotional, like she puts up a 30-piece, no emotion. To see her screaming in pain and writhing on the ground, it was horrific and devastating. And it absolutely changed the entire tenor of the tournament. It did.
Okay, so you're offering a lot of context there that I want to follow up on because of how this story hurts. The connection specifically to USC, walk us through the history of all of that, culturally, generationally, what that program means to those people and what it means to have this player, this hope go down like that.
Yeah, I mean, she has a giant mural in the city of LA. When she chose USC, actually on her signing day or her announcement day, whatever you call it, she actually came on SportsCenter and talked to me. And I, in a very soft way, kind of asked her that same thing that I just said, which is like, okay, I mean, I get it. You're from LA, but you're the number one prospect in the country.
