USC will meet No. 5 seed Kansas State in Spokane on Saturday in a matchup that suddenly looks much different than it did on Monday morning. Without Watkins on the floor, the Trojans are a fundamentally different team against the Wildcats, who are in a prime position to pull off the upset.

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.

For K-State, it's the first time advancing to the Sweet 16 since 2002. Kansas State with a defensive stand at the end holds on to advance to the Sweet 16 in Spokane next week. Georgia Amoore misses a short baseline jumper and Kansas State advances to the Sweet 16 with an 80-79 overtime victory.
