UCLA Women's Basketball: 2 All-Pac-12 Tourney Bruins Guards Among Best Distributors In The Game

The UCLA Bruins have been on a tear all season during non-conference play. On top of being ranked #2 in the country, they went undefeated. It is in large part to starters like Lauren Betts, Kiki Rice, and Charisma Osborne.

Rice and Osborne have not only been in the top 20 for scoring in the Pac-12, but they are also the best distributors as well.

“Sophomore Kiki Rice has thrown 62 assists in eight appearances this season; her 6.9 APG ranks 3rd in the Conference, 11th in the NCAA in assists per game. Charisma Osborne has dished 43 AST (7th, Pac-12), good for 4.8 APG (5th, Pac-12).”

Rice and Osborne have been on fire all season, and their ability to garner assists and points is something to behold.

There is a big reason why the team has gone undefeated in non-conference play. The starting five have worked wonders with one another. Their first big test will come on December 30, as they face crosstown rival USC Trojans.

The Trojans have also gone undefeated and are ranked #6. It will certainly be one exciting game, though the team is up for the challenge.
