JuJu Watkins suffered a serious leg injury Monday night during the second round of the NCAA tournament and at last report, was leaving the arena so she could get an MRI. ESPN's Elle Duncan summed up just how fans felt.

Watkins was injured early in the first quarter as the No. 1 seeded Trojans played No. 9 seed Mississippi State.
