STORRS, Conn. -- If Paige Bueckers is feeling the emotions of senior day, she doesn't show it. The UConn guard walks onto the court at Gampel Pavilion, flanked by her siblings, holding their hands. Her sister sobs, and many of her teammates are already teary-eyed, but Bueckers sports a small smile.
The usual senior day rites transpire -- Bueckers receives a framed jersey, poses for a slew of photos as she and three teammates are honored. But the attention of the 10,000 fans in the stands who stayed for the ceremony after the Huskies' regular-season finale zeroes in on Bueckers for what's next.
