UConn women's basketball star Paige Bueckers is one of the biggest stars in the game and projected No. 1 pick in the WNBA Draft, and her NIL deals reflect that.

So, while the basketball at UConn is still available to her, this time with her teammates is available, the chance to put on that No. 5 Huskies jersey one more time is available, Bueckers will be that player. She will shoot 27 times. She will take over a game. She will not take for granted any moment on the floor.

Paige Bueckers exploded for 29 of her career-best 40 points in the second half, carrying UConn to an 82-59 rout over Oklahoma in the Sweet 16.
