UConn women's basketball's Paige Bueckers has averaged 27.7 points per game and shot 51.7% from the field in her three career Elite Eight games.

Bueckers got back plenty in that game for herself and her teammates, smoothed over the rough patches and was the player who, whenever Auriemma was too deep into the team’s mistakes, could draw him back.

Paige Bueckers and her UConn teammates have aims on a national title, but first, the Huskies have an Elite Eight rematch with Southern California.
