Paige Bueckers, UConn Praised by WCBB Fans After Win vs. JuJu Watkins, USC in Elite 8
UConn is heading back to the Final Four after taking down USC in the Elite Eight Monday night.
The No. 3 Huskies took down the No. 1 Trojans 80-73 behind a huge game from star Paige Bueckers, who notched a double-double with 28 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. UConn also got some support from forward Aaliyah Edwards, who had 22 on the night.
Bueckers showcased her defense, taking on the challenge of guarding USC star JuJu Watkins down the stretch.
Watkins finished the game with 29 points, but the freshman ultimately didn't have enough to propel the Trojans into the Final Four.
After the win, fans praised Bueckers for another outstanding tournament game and the Huskies for reaching their 23rd Final Four in program history.
Now UConn has another test as it prepares to take on Catilin Clark and No. 1 Iowa. The Huskies took down the defending champion LSU to reach the Final Four.
Bueckers has been dominant all tournament, scoring 28, 32, 24 and 28 respectively to get the Huskies back to the Final Four after getting bounced in the Sweet 16 last year, and now she's looking for another big game.
Needless to say, Friday's Final Four matchup between Bueckers and Clark will be one of the most exciting games of the season.
