UCLA Women's Basketball: Bruin Becomes 2nd Pac-12 Guard Ever To Achieve Major Stats
UCLA women's basketball guard Charisma Osborne became just the second guard in Pac-12 history to at least 2000 points and 800 rebounds last week. The fifth-year upperclassman previously hit 2,000 points in January against USC, and has now also passed the 800 rebound mark.
Osborne reached this mark in Thursday's 82-52 win over Utah, when she put up 13 points, five rebounds and seven assists to help the Bruins get a key win.
Now, Osborne joins Sabrina Ionescu as the only Pac-12 guards in history to have reached these feats during their college careers. Ionescu went on to win the Naismith player of the year and become the first overall pick in the WNBA draft by the New York Liberty. With the Liberty, she is a two-time All-Star, and recently led the club all the way to the WNBA Finals last fall.
In her fifth year at UCLA, Osborne continues to excel for the team, who currently rank No. 8 in the country. She's a three-time All-Pac-12 honoree and one of the reasons UCLA is a top-ranked program in 2023. Overall on the season, Osborne is averaging 14.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.3 assists.
Look for Osborne to continue to add to these totals this week as UCLA takes on Colorado, Arizona State and Arizona in the final week of the regular season for women's college basketball.
