"My girlssss."

Jazzy Davidson made history for Team USA

Jazzy Davidson starred in Team USA's 114-40 win over Israel last week, going 11-of-13 from the floor for 24 points, eight assists, four steals and four rebounds in 23 minutes of action. She posted the highest efficiency rating (40) of any player in the history of USA's U19 women's basketball.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Davidson deflected praise for her performance to her teammates while celebrating the achievement.

"If that's true about the efficiency, then that's amazing because there are a lot of great players who have played for USA that I look up to. It's really special," said Jazzy Davidson.

"I just think my teammates just put me into really great positions tonight and they made great passes so it made it really easy to get great shots. I also love passing to my teammates and rewarding them for running the floor - all of them do such a great job in that. As a team we performed really well."

After a successful tournament with Team USA, Jazzy Davidson will team up with JuJu Watkins next season for the USC Trojans.

She will get to battle crosstown rivals, the UCLA Bruins who will have her Team USA teammate Sienna Betts in their ranks, alongside her sister, Lauren Betts, to make for one of college basketball's spiciest rivalries.
