Paige Bueckers has stepped up for UConn women’s basketball all season long. From the game-clinching off-balanced three against Tennessee to scoring every point for UConn in overtime to help get the win over then-No. 1 South Carolina, Bueckers has shined in big moments.
While Bueckers had plenty of highlights and collected more than a few accolades heading into the postseason, UConn players make their mark in March. In UConn’s nail-biting victory over Baylor on Monday night, Bueckers did just that.
“Paige can sense the moment. Like all great players, she can sense the moment, when it’s time, what’s needed in that time, what’s necessary,” head coach Geno Auriemma said after the win.
