It wasn’t another record-setting outing from Paige Bueckers, but the Huskies still picked up a dominant win on Friday night.
Now, Bueckers and No. 2 UConn will have a shot at claiming their first national championship in nearly a decade.
The Huskies, thanks to a huge first half from Azzi Fudd, rolled over No. 1 UCLA in the Final Four on Friday night. They grabbed an 85-51 win over the Bruins at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. That officially sets up a rematch against South Carolina in the national championship game on Sunday afternoon.
Bueckers, who has scored at least 31 points in each of the last three games, was held to just 12 points in Friday’s blowout win.
