Iimar'I Thomas ’17 finished her University of Cincinnati basketball career with a bang, logging a school- and conference- record 51 points to go with 12 rebounds in a 76-61 win at East Carolina on February 24. With that performance, Thomas also joined Basketball Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson as the only two players in UC history to score at least 50 points in a game. As if this singular performance wasn’t enough, Thomas backed it up by being named American Athletic Conference Player of the Year for 2020-21. Thomas finished the season among the nation's Top 30 in nine categories for 2020-21, including minutes played per game (second at 39.37), field goals made (fourth at 195), total points (sixth at 526), points per game (seventh at 23.9), free throws made (seventh at 126), total minutes played (eighth at 866), free throws attempted (14th at 154), field goal percentage (22nd at .545) and field goals attempted (29th at 358).
In early April, it was announced Thomas was joining the UCLA women’s program as a graduate transfer, most likely slotting into the starting lineup next season and providing a much-needed scoring punch right away for the Bruins. GO IRISH!
