In their previous three games, the UCLA Bruins have seen standout performances from guard Charisma Osborne. Known for her exceptional skills on both ends of the court, Osborne has been a force to be reckoned with. In the first game against Oregon State Beavers, she scored 15 points, dished out 4 assists, and grabbed 8 rebounds. Her shooting percentages were impressive, with 44% from the field and 33% from beyond the arc.


Osborne continued her stellar performance in the next game against Oregon Ducks, contributing 21 points, 2 assists, and 7 rebounds. She showcased her shooting prowess by shooting an impressive 67% from the field and an even more remarkable 62% from two-point range.


In their most recent game against USC Trojans, Osborne once again proved why she is a key player for the Bruins. She scored a team-high 23 points while also contributing 2 rebounds and displaying her defensive skills with multiple steals. Despite shooting at a lower percentage in this game (44%), Osborne's impact on both ends of the court was undeniable.


While Osborne has been outstanding for UCLA Bruins, it is important to note that USC Trojans have their own set of talented players who could make a significant impact on the upcoming game. Players like McKenzie Forbes and Taylor Bigby have shown their scoring ability and defensive prowess in previous games.


Looking at the overall performance of both teams over their last three games, it is clear that the UCLA Bruins have been more consistent and have a slight edge. Their average points per game is 12% higher than USC Trojans, and their shooting percentages are also better across the board.


However, basketball is a game of uncertainties, and anything can happen on the court. USC Trojans will be determined to make a statement in this rivalry game and could potentially cause an upset if their key players step up.


As the UCLA Bruins prepare for their upcoming clash with the USC Trojans, all eyes will be on Charisma Osborne. Her exceptional performances in the previous games have made her a player to watch out for. If she continues to dominate on both ends of the court, there is no doubt that she will play a crucial role in leading her team to victory.


Basketball fans are eagerly awaiting this exciting matchup between two fierce rivals. The Galen Center will be buzzing with energy as these teams battle it out for bragging rights. Make sure to tune in to the Pac-12 Network on January 14th at 2:00 PM (PST) to catch all the action live from Los Angeles.
