Paige Bueckers career high: UConn women's basketball star has career night vs Oklahoma

There's a reason why her nickname is "Paige Buckets."

And Geno Auriemma and UConn women's basketball are sure glad Paige Bueckers is on their side because of it.

As she has so many times throughout her career at UConn, the Huskies star guard took over the scoring in Saturday's Sweet 16 win against No. 3 seed Oklahoma at Spokane Arena, sending UConn back to the Elite Eight for the fourth time in the last five years.

And because of that, the likely No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming WNBA draft set a new career high.
