After winning the NCAA National Championship with the UConn Huskies on Sunday, Bueckers is now expected to be the first player taken in the 2025 WNBA Draft. The Dallas Wings have the first overall draft pick.

Bueckers averaged 19.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game. She also became the first UConn player to score 40 points in the NCAA Tournament during an 82-59 victory over Oklahoma in the Sweet 16.

The former UConn player went to the Final Four in her previous three playing campaigns. She missed the entire 2022-2023 season with a knee injury but couldn't win the title until her final try.

Sheryl Swoopes shares thoughts on Paige Bueckers

Basketball legend Sheryl Swoopes showed her appreciation for Paige Bueckers during Tuesday’s edition of “The Women’s Hoops Show.”

Swoopes, a four-time WNBA champion and the first player to sign with the league praised the UConn Huskies star and what she thought of Bueckers ending her college career with a national title.

"I love Paige. I love Paige Bueckers. Love Paige Bueckers. Love her as a person, as a human, as a baller, as a hooper, all the things, she is her. Right? She's her. She's a bucket," Sheryl Swoopes said.

Swoopes also won the NCAA title until her senior season at Texas Tech. The 1993 tournament’s Most Outstanding Player joined the WNBA in 1997. She won the title in her first four years in the league and was a three-time MVP.

After finishing her NCAA career with a title, Bueckers will now look to emulate Swoopes’ success in professional basketball as well.

Allan studied Communications at Anáhuac University, where he learned what would become the basis of a trade that was already a dream of his before starting college.

His favorite team is Army West Point as when he was young, Allan lived in West Point for a couple of years, went to pretty much every home game, a couple of Army-Navy games and even got to meet some of the players.

Allan's favorite players of all time include Tommie Frazier, who was unbelievable during the Nebraska dynasty of the early 90's. Tim Tebow was also a favorite, mainly because of his leadership skills, although he was also awesome on the football field. As a fan of defensive football, (or what's left of it), Sean Taylor could take over a game for Miami.

Allan has always considered himself a student of the game more than a fan of it. So the historical part and evolution of the game, as well as the ins and outs of what happens on the field, and being able to put it into words for the audience, are his biggest strengths.

Besides sports, Allan enjoys reading books, watching movies and spending time with his dogs.
