Paige Bueckers played on the Gampel Pavilion court Monday for the last time of her college career, and she made sure to go out with a bang.
Bueckers put on a stellar first-half performance that fans won’t soon forget.
Bueckers scored 21 points in the first half, a new career high for a half, on 8-of-12 shooting.
By the end of the third quarter, she was up to 32 points, tying her career high in an NCAA tournament game.
At that point, the Huskies led 72-36.
It marked her sixth 25-point game in the NCAA tournament, which ties Maya Moore for the most by a UConn player in the last 25 years, according to ESPN.
It was effortless dominance for Bueckers as she scored in a variety of ways.
