Behind another big effort from Paige Bueckers, UConn women’s basketball opened Big East play with a 74-49 win over the Seton Hall Pirates.
Bueckers finished with a team-high 23 points and also added nine rebounds, six assists, and five steals. She also hit a handful of clutch shots throughout the course of the game to quiet a raucous crowd at Walsh Gymnasium in South Orange, New Jersey.
Christyn Williams added 17 points while Aaliyah Edwards looked like her old self with 12 points and seven rebounds — both season-highs. Dorka Juhász grabbed 10 rebounds after entering the game with just 13 all season while Olivia Nelson-Ododa had 10 points, five rebounds, and three assists.
