Paige Bueckers Poised for Final College Season With UConn

As a senior, Bueckers aims to secure her first national title and lead UConn to its 12th championship.

Bueckers returns to UConn for her final season after recovering from injuries that sidelined her for parts of two years.
She was the first freshman to win the AP National Player of the Year award in 2021 and led UConn to the Final Four last season.
UConn is ranked No. 2 in the preseason AP Top 25 and is favored to win the Big East, with Bueckers playing a key leadership role.
Coach Geno Auriemma emphasizes Bueckers' growth, noting her increased assertiveness on both ends of the court.
The Huskies' schedule includes challenging matchups against top-ranked teams, setting the stage for a competitive season.
