Pac-12 Women's Basketball Awards: Charisma Osborne, IImar'I Thomas Make All-Conference

A few Bruins earned conference honors with the regular season coming to a close this past weekend.

The Pac-12 announced its individual awards and all-conference teams on Tuesday morning, and UCLA women's basketball guard Charisma Osborne and forward IImar'I Thomas made the All-Pac-12 Team. Osborne was also an honorable mention for the All-Defensive Team, while forward Izzy Anstey was an honorable mention for the All-Freshman Team.

This marks the second year in a row Osborne has made the All-Pac-12 Team, and that's coming off All-Freshman honors in 2019-2020. Thomas, meanwhile, was a three-time member of the All-AAC Team in from 2019 to 2021 while at Cincinnati.

Osborne finished the regular season as the Pac-12's second leading scorer at 17.1 points per game, and she also ranked in the top six in assists, 3-pointers made and free throw percentage. Osborne scored double figures in 20 of her 21 appearances this year, breaking the 20-point threshold seven times and notching two double-doubles en route to a pair of Pac-12 Player of the Week honors.

Osborne's 1.5 steals per game also helped her earn an honorable mention for the Pac-12 All-Defensive Team for the second time in her career to go along with her actually making the team a year ago. Osborne is also in the running for the John R. Wooden Award, the Naismith Trophy and the Ann Meyers-Drysdale Award on the national level.

Thomas ranked fifth in the Pac-12 in points per game with 15.4 and also led UCLA with 5.8 rebounds a night. Her 53.8% field goal percentage put her at No. 4 in the conference, and that's with a career-high 40.4% clip from 3-point range.

While at times Thomas would get gun shy, there were other times where the Bruins ran everything through her in the post. She more than made the most of those opportunities by cashing in more points than any other second-leading scorer in the Pac-12.

Anstey was tasked with handling a lot of the reserve minutes in the post this season, with forward Emily Bessoir tearing her ACL in the preseason and forwards Brynn Masikewich and Angela Dugalic not appearing until February. In that elevated role, Anstey averaged 3.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 16.6 minutes per game.

UCLA ranked third in all-conference honorees, with Stanford and Oregon tied for the lead with three apiece. But whereas the Cardinal boasted the player of the year, defensive player of the year and coach of the year, the Bruins and Ducks' honors were restricted to the All-Pac-12 Team.
