Paige Bueckers shared glimpses of her basketball life, and it generated much online attention from fans. Bueckers is looking forward to her final year of college eligibility at UConn and took to Instagram to share some of her top moments:

"Racking up my flight mileage… World tour complete."

Toward the end of June, the UConn star had a six-week break and used it to travel. Visiting Nika Muhl in Seattle, attending the ESPY awards in Los Angeles, attending WNBA games and seeing her parents were on top of the list.

Bueckers also posted about the Paris Olympics, NWSL matches and WNBA All-Star games.

As college basketball stars like Caitlin Clark and Cameron Brink have gone to the WNBA, it has brought Bueckers to the center of attention. She enjoys it but does not let her focus on the court go away. As per Hartford Courant, Bueckers shared how much she cares for her team:

“I’m just going to continue to be me, be myself, be the best version of myself every single day and worry about my team and what my team needs me to do. Whatever happens, happens and continue to do what I do.”

How does Paige Bueckers view her responsibility in the absence of former UConn stars?

Nika Muhl went to the Seattle Storm and Aaliyah Edwards joined the ranks of the Washington Mystics. In the absence of two top Huskies, Paige Bueckers, as per Hartford Courant, shared how she feels about leading Uconn:

“It’s crazy because I feel like I don’t have Nika, I don’t have Aaliyah, so it’s all on me. It’s mostly responsibility. I’m taking that responsibility and I’m doing it with pride and making sure I’m leading these young guys, being a voice for them, teaching, communicating, also leading by example.”

While Paige Bueckers has a razor-sharp focus on her career interests, coach Geno Auriemma has a team leader who cares deeply about the team.
