BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Player of the Week
BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Freshman of the Week
Paige Bueckers, Connecticut, Fr., G
Bueckers reached the 30-point mark in both wins for the third-ranked Huskies last week, tallying 32 points off 13-of-20 shooting in Wednesday’s win against St. John’s before scoring a game-high 30 in Friday’s win at Marquette. She was 12-of-18 from the field against the Golden Eagles to tally a .658 shooting clip for the week, including an 11-of-15 (.733) mark from three. The rookie sensation added 4.5 assists and 2.0 rebounds. This is Bueckers’ first BIG EAST Player of the Week certificate and seventh Freshman of the Week honor. She is the first to sweep both BIG EAST weekly honors since Villanova’s Maddy Siegrist did so on Dec. 23, 2019. Bueckers is just the fourth player in league history to sweep the awards, along with Siegrist, Marquette’s Allazia Blockton (Feb. 15, 2016) and fellow UConn standout Maya Moore (March 4, 2008).
