The Uconn Huskies women’s basketball team have established themselves as true threats to win the national championship this season, led by Paige Bueckers.
Bueckers is currently playing in her fourth season with the Huskies, having originally committed to the program as one of the highest rated high school recruits in history.
During her time with the Huskies, Bueckers has surely lived up to the hype and that’s proven with her track record in the NCAA Tournament.
According to Trendy Hoop Stars, Bueckers recently passed former college basketball star Skylar Diggins-Smith in the all-time NCAA Tournament points list.
Later on, the same source revealed that Bueckers was four points shy of becoming the No. 10 all-time leading scorer in women’s NCAA Tournament history, passing UConn legend Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis (374 points).
And just like that, Bueckers is just four points away from becoming the 10th-highest scorer in NCAA Tournament history. ✨ https://t.co/HU2a6aGl8B

So far this season, Bueckers has averaged 18.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, leading the UConn Huskies in average points.
Bueckers and the Huskies will now prepare for a Sweet 16 matchup against the Oklahoma Sooners.
