UCLA Women's Basketball: 2023-24 Pac-12 Conference Schedule Announced

Following a largely successful 2022-23 campaign that saw them finish with a 27-10 record and a Sweet 16 appearance (a 59-43 loss against the top-seed South Carolina Gamecocks), your UCLA Bruins women's basketball program will be looking to make the most of its final season in the Pac-12, before realigning conferences. Why UCLA is hopping over to the Big Ten, a Midwest stalwart, is a bit geographically befuddling, but that's out of our hands, isn't it?

The Bruins will be returning two iconic senior guards in their final, bonus seasons of NCAA eligibility (thanks to COVID-19's disruption of the 2019-20 season, all athletes in school that year earned one extra college athletics stint): 5'11" Camryn Brown and 5'9" Charisma Osborne.

Although Brown is not considered to be a WNBA-level prospect as of yet, Osborne could have been a top-10 level selection this past summer. Clearly, the three-time All-Pac-12 selection and one-time Pac-12 All-Defense honoree is hoping for further March Madness glory this year.

UCLA's official athletics website reveals that the Bruins will play 18 inter-conference bouts next season. The club will pay tandem home-and-away matchups against the Arizona Wildcats, the Arizona State Sun Devils, the Colorado Buffaloes, the Oregon Ducks, the Oregon State Beavers, the USC Trojans, and the Utah Utes.

The Bruins will exclusively play home games against Washington and Washington State, while the team will head to Northern California against Berkeley and Stanford, without hosting those two programs.

UCLA went 11-7 in Pac-12 play last year. Can it do better this time around?
