Meanwhile, the Trojans are without their own superstar JuJu Watkins after she suffered a season-ending knee injury in their second-round game. After getting by Kansas State in the Sweet 16, head coach Lindsay Gottlieb is looking to get the program back to the Final Four for the first time since 1986.

Bueckers has scored a total of 50 points across those two games, including 28 when UConn defeated USC in the Elite Eight last year to advance to the Final Four. Bueckers has also recorded a total of 13 rebounds and eight assists and has shot 44.4 percent from the field and 35.7 percent from 3-point range against the Trojans.
