The UConn women’s basketball team continues to dominate, thanks in large part to the standout performances from sophomore standout Paige Bueckers. Bueckers played a key role in the Huskies’ latest win against the Marquette Golden Eagles, where she scored 30 points and showcased her versatility on both ends of the court.
The game started off slow for Bueckers as she missed her first three shots from the field. However, she quickly found her rhythm and went on to score 10 points in the first quarter alone. Her ability to create her shots and drive to the basket proved to be too much for the Marquette defense.
Bueckers continued to impress in the second quarter, making a three-pointer and several layups to extend the Huskies’ lead. She also contributed on the defensive end, tallying two steals and helping to limit Marquette’s offensive production.
In the second half, Bueckers kept the momentum going, hitting another three-pointer and scoring multiple layups. She finished the game with six rebounds, four assists, and three steals, proving that she is a force to be reckoned with on both sides of the ball.
Bueckers’ performance in the game was no surprise to fans who have followed her career. She was named the 2021 AP Player of the Year and has already broken several records in her short time at UConn. However, her dominance on the court continues to impress and inspire both her teammates and fans.
After the game, Bueckers credited her success to her teammates, saying, “I just try to make the right play wherever it is. If my teammates are open, I’m going to pass it to them. If I have the shot, I’m going to take it. So I just try to play off of them.”
Overall, Bueckers’ impressive performance in the latest matchup further solidifies her position as one of the top players in women’s college basketball. With her talent and leadership, she is sure to continue to shine bright and lead the Huskies to even more victories in the future.
