Paige Bueckers exploded for 29 of her career-high 40 points in the second half as No. 2-seeded UConn dominated the final 20 minutes to blow out No. 3 Oklahoma 82-59 in Saturday's Spokane Region 1 Sweet 16 matchup in Spokane, Wash. Bueckers' 40 points also set the UConn program record for the most in an NCAA Tournament game. The Huskies (34-3) went on a 16-4 run coming out of intermission, flipping a four-point deficit into an eight-point lead in less than five minutes. Bueckers bookended the spurt with a pair of jump shots, including a 3-pointer right out of the break that was set up by a Jana El Alfy offensive board and Azzi Fudd assist.
