UConn's Paige Bueckers Astounds WCBB Fans with Huge Double-Double in Win vs. Syracuse

Andrew PetersMar 25, 2024

UConn is heading to the Sweet 16 after a monster game from Paige Bueckers led the No. 3 Huskies over No. 6 Syracuse 72-64.

Bueckers had 32 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and four steals in the win, following up a 28-point, 11-rebound and seven-assist performance against Jackson State in the first round. Bueckers' performance gives her the most points ever through two rounds of the NCAA tournament by a UConn player since 1991.

Bueckers missed all of the 2022-23 season with a knee injury, and now she's making the most of her time in March Madness. After her big game, fans praised Bueckers for another dominant performance.
