Connecticut guard Paige Bueckers is expected to be back in the lineup for the No. 7 Huskies next week, head coach Geno Auriemma said Tuesday. Auriemma ruled out Bueckers for Wednesday's game against Xavier but said she has a better-than-zero chance to play Saturday at Georgetown. "We're hoping we'll have her back in a week," Auriemma said of his team's leading scorer at 19.9 points per game this season. Bueckers sustained what Auriemma labeled a "lower-body sprain" in the third quarter of her 100th career college game Sunday against Villanova. She did not practice with the team on Tuesday.
