Paige Bueckers, a standout player for the UConn Huskies, surpassed Diana Taurasi to become the ninth all-time leading scorer in the program's history with 2,158 points during a commanding 91-49 victory over Seton Hall. Despite an injury scare, Bueckers was instrumental in the win, contributing 23 points, nine rebounds, and five assists. Her performance was praised by head coach Geno Auriemma, who noted her potential to be even more aggressive, which would benefit the team.

This season, Bueckers leads her team with 18.4 points and 4.6 assists per game, and is expected to continue climbing UConn's scoring list. Her leadership on the court is drawing comparisons to past UConn legends, positioning her as a potential top pick in the upcoming WNBA draft.
