SPOKANE, Wash. – Following UConn’s victory over Southern California that sent the Huskies to the Final Four, Paige Bueckers and coach Geno Auriemma huddled over the contents of the box score. “When she was sitting up here, I pointed to her four turnovers, I said, ‘What was that?’ And she immediately went to the next column and she said, ‘Look, I got it back, I got four steals,’” Auriemma said.

SPOKANE, Wash. – If there's one thing UCLA's Elite Eight victory showed, it's that the Bruins are about more than just Lauren Betts. The 6-foot-7 All America center is the centerpiece of UCLA's offense and a menace for their opponents. But she's not the only asset for the overall top-seeded Bruins, who will face UConn and Paige Bueckers on Friday as the women's NCAA Tournament heads to Tampa, Florida, for the Final Four.

SPOKANE, Wash. — UConn coach Geno Auriemma caused a minor stir during last year's NCAA Tournament when he proclaimed that his star guard, Paige Bueckers, was the best player in the country. It raised eyebrows given Iowa phenom Caitlin Clark's stature, but Auriemma stood by his assessment. With a career-best 40-point performance in this year's Sweet 16, Bueckers keeps proving that she is, indeed, one of the game's top talents and perhaps the best player in the tournament this year.
