NCAA notebook: Title game about more than Paige Bueckers' legacy

All-American guard Paige Bueckers will leave UConn having already made a considerable mark on college basketball's most decorated program. Sunday's national championship game in Tampa, Fla., against defending champion South Carolina is Bueckers' final opportunity to add her signature to the program's unprecedented legacy. UConn (36-3) won the last of its 11 national championships in 2016. The nine years that have elapsed make this the program's longest title drought since it won its first in 1995. Bueckers holds assorted Huskies records, two of the most noteworthy being achieved during this NCAA Tournament run. Her 40 points in UConn's Sweet 16 win over Oklahoma are the most any Husky has ever scored in an NCAA Tournament game.
