Paige Bueckers on playing in her last March Madness

Paige Bueckers, widely expected to be the top pick in the 2025 WNBA draft next month, reflected on stepping into her last March Madness trip in an exclusive with PEOPLE on Tuesday.

"It's like you know the end is near," she said. "So, you're trying to cherish it and drag it out as long as possible because you don't want it to end."

Bueckers was projected to be a top pick in the 2024 WNBA draft but returned to UConn to run it back one last time. Her only motivation behind the move was winning the NCAA championship.

Now that the annual tournament is about to begin, she realizes the fans' expectations of her to stay undefeated in the coming weeks. However, the star guard has a way of battling with the pressure.

"There's a lot of pressure that can come with it - win or go home," she said. "It's my last one ever, there really is no do-overs. So, just trying not to think about that and really just playing with passion, joy and to have fun."

Paige Buecekrs and the Huskies begin their March Madness journey on Saturday by facing Arkansas State at the Gampel Pavilion.
