Coach Geno Auriemma says no freshman has played as well as Sarah Strong since Breanna Stewart's time at UConn.

At just 23 years old, Paige Bueckers has already cemented herself as a force in women’s basketball: She’s the fastest player in UConn history to reach 2,000 career points; she was the first freshman to nab the Wooden Award and Naismith Trophy—and, come next month, she’s widely projected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA draft.

Bueckers will play for her college team during the March Madness tournament this spring before the WNBA draft.
