Paige Bueckers draws playful criticism from Geno Auriemma despite UConn’s success

Paige Bueckers appeared to be fully focused on delivering as the season winds down, aiming to win an NCAA championship for UConn, a title the Huskies haven’t claimed in nine years.

For a program as dominant as UConn, that championship drought feels unusually long, highlighting the increasing competitiveness in women’s college basketball. Auriemma, known for pushing his players to their limits, is always looking for ways to make them even better. Bueckers is no exception.

Even after a stellar first half against Butler on Saturday where she scored 17 points, Auriemma still found something to critique. His comments, though lighthearted, reflected his desire for continued improvement as the No. 5 Huskies gear up for March Madness.

“She’s never where I want her to be,” Auriemma said during his halftime interview. With UConn leading by 25 points at the break, he added, “I think there’s always a little bit more she can do.”

Bueckers didn’t disappoint. She finished the game with a dominant performance, logging 34 minutes and scoring a game-high 23 points while dishing out 10 assists. UConn cruised to an 86-47 victory over Butler, reinforcing its status as one of the top programs in the nation. The win also improved its record to 26-3 overall and a perfect 16-0 in Big East Conference play.

With just two games left before the Big East Tournament, the Huskies are peaking at the right time with five wins on the bounce. Auriemma’s relentless attention to detail and Bueckers’ leadership on the court could make for a storybook ending in April.
