Paige Bueckers played on the Gampel Pavilion court Monday for the last time of her college career, and she made sure to go out with a bang.
Bueckers put on a stellar first-half performance that fans won’t soon forget.
Bueckers scored 21 points in the first half, a new career high for a half, on 8-of-12 shooting.
By the end of the third quarter, she was up to 32 points, tying her career high in an NCAA tournament game.
At that point, the Huskies led 72-36.
This was her sixth game in the NCAA tournament where she scored 25 points. This achievement equals Maya Moore’s record for the most 25-point games by a UConn player in the past 25 years, as reported by ESPN.
It was effortless dominance for Bueckers as she scored in a variety of ways.
