The Lisa Leslie Award is given annually to the nation’s best center, and the previous winners are Betts (2025), Cameron Brink (2024), Aliyah Boston (2020-2023), Megan Gustafson (2019) and A’Ja Wilson (2018).

Through 22 games, Beers averages 16.0 points, 10.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.1 blocks per outing. She’s shooting 63.3 percent from the field, and averages 25.1 minutes. 

She is currently averaging a career-best in both rebounds and assists, and she’s just behind her 1.3 blocks per game mark that she set in the 2023-2024 season at Oregon State.

Beers dropped 22 points and pulled down 12 boards in Bedlam on Dec. 13, she totaled 18 points and 14 rebounds in the Sooners’ overtime victory over South Carolina on Jan. 22 and she added 21 points and 12 rebounds in the overtime triumph over NC State on Dec. 3. 

There are a few high-profile contests left in the regular season for Beers to add to her résumé this season.
