Scores 32 against UCLA Watson logged 32 points (14-15 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across his 30 minutes during Gonzaga's 69-65 win Wednesday against UCLA.

Impact Now, 32 points is Watson's career best. Wednesday marked the first time Gonzaga and UCLA competed against each other since the Sweet Sixteen of March Madness 2023. But without either Julian Strawther or Drew Timme to bail Watson out this time, he stepped up to help the Bulldogs win again. Such has been the case since both professionals' college departures, as Watson is averaging 16.6 points across his current season.
