"Oh sh*t not again": Fans left in disbelief as Paige Bueckers wobbles back to locker room during UConn vs Seton Hall

Paige Bueckers suffered another injury scare on Wednesday night during the fifth-ranked UConn Huskies' game against the Seton Hall Pirates at Walsh Gymnasium. The UConn star hobbled as she made her way to the locker room during the halftime break.

The incident occurred with less than four seconds remaining in the second quarter. Bueckers immediately grabbed her right knee after she landed awkwardly following a shot attempt in UConn's final possession of the first half. She had been playing well before that, scoring 13 points on 5-for-9 shooting in the first two quarters.

The Huskies entered the break with a 41-26 advantage, but fans were more concerned about Bueckers' condition heading into the second half. They took to X (formerly Twitter) to react to Bueckers' latest injury scare.

"Oh s**t not again," one fan said.

GOD SAVE MY QUEEN," another fan wrote.

"Pray for Paige that she all good!" another replied.

"A great talent who's always snakebit by the injury bug," another commented.

Here are some other reactions.

“Paige Bueckers” and “knee” is not something i like to hear in the same sentence…" one fan posted.

"She is the Anthony Davis (as of today) of woman’s basketball," one fan tweeted.

The good news for coach Geno Auriemma and the UConn Huskies was that Bueckers' injury was not deemed serious. UConn fans breathed a sigh of relief when she was included in the starting lineup for the second half.

Paige Bueckers finished the contest with 23 points, leading the Huskies to a 91-49 win. She also had nine rebounds, five assists and two steals in 27 minutes of action for the Huskies, who improved their overall record to 25-3.
