This year at UCLA, she averaged 3.7 points and 3.0 rebounds, shooting 54 percent from the field. Iwuala played in 33 games for the Top 10 program and scored 10 points three times for the Bruins.
Christeen Iwuala was a four-star prospect out of high school and brings a physical presence to Ole Miss.
As a high school senior, scouts loved her game.
“Strong, physical lefty power-post cleans the glass, outlets and initiates the fast break,” ESPNW said. “Offers a defensive presence in the paint, alters and rejects shots. Mobile in transition, gains position in the paint, finishes plays versus contact.”
