BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Player of the Week
BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Freshman of the Week
Paige Bueckers, Connecticut, Fr., G
Bueckers sweeps the BIG EAST weekly women’s basketball honors for a second straight week after averaging 24.3 points, 5.7 assists and .545 shooting, including a .412 clip from three, in a 3-0 week for the second-ranked Huskies. Bueckers’ week was highlighted by a 31-point outing, including the game-clinching three-pointer in overtime, as No. 2 UConn upset No. 1 South Carolina on Monday night in what was the most-watched women’s basketball game in FS1 history. Bueckers added six steals, five assists and four rebounds against the Gamecocks. She followed that performance with 23 points in Wednesday’s win over Seton Hall, before going for 19 points and nine assists in Friday’s win at Georgetown. After becoming just the fourth player in BIG EAST history to sweep both weekly honors, she becomes the first in league history to do so multiple times.
