Paige Bueckers, a fifth-year senior at UConn, is set to potentially end her collegiate career on a high note as she leads the Huskies into the NCAA Tournament, with an upcoming match against Arkansas State. Bueckers has been named a First Team All-American by both the AP and USBWA, marking her third such honor, and stands as a likely No. 1 pick in the upcoming WNBA Draft. Her teammate, freshman Sarah Strong, also earned All-American honors, showcasing a promising future for UConn. Coach Geno Auriemma praises Bueckers for her remarkable contributions, noting her unique ability to see and execute plays effectively on the court. Despite past injuries, Bueckers has consistently performed at an elite level, averaging 19 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.9 assists this season. As UConn prepares to face Arkansas State, Bueckers is determined to capture the elusive national championship that has thus far slipped from her grasp.
