Paige Bueckers is enjoying the offseason while traveling with her teammates, friends and family. Her "world tour" seems to be going strong, as she was spotted at the US Open supporting Coco Gauff.

Bueckers attended the game with her UConn teammate, Azzi Fudd. In a video shared by ESPN, Paige, in a purple sweatshirt, talks to Azzi while filming the action. In another clip, the Huskies guard converses with Coco Gauff.

Earlier this month, Bueckers threw the first pitch at Target Field before the Minnesota vs. Kansas City matchup.

Paige Bueckers and Cam Wilder debated who would be the better coach

The UConn Huskies star is interested in starting an AAU team. She asked Cam Wilder, the owner of the Rod Wave Elite team, about her RWE experiences. Afterward, Cam and Paige playfully debated who would be a better coach.

Bueckers: "You think you're a better recruiter than me?
Wilder: 100%. I have recruited the best of the best.
Bueckers: They want experience.
Wilder: I can give them that experience. I took my kids to Disneyland one time on an AAU trip.
Bueckers: No, I'm talking about knowledge, game experience.
Wilder: Do they want game experience or do they want Disneyland?
Bueckers: I can take them to Disneyland too. I'll take them on a cruise. I'll take them to wherever they want to go. I'm not taking Disneyland. I'm thinking big picture. I would've took him to the Olympics. I think my team would win by like 50."

Bueckers showcased her sideline prowess when her team won against LSU's Flau'jae Johnson in the Overtime 5v5 game. Additionally, 'Paige Buckets' has absorbed almost 40 years of basketball knowledge from iconic Huskies coach, Geno Auriemma.

The UConn star plays her final college basketball season this year while aiming to win an NCAAW championship. She is expected to be a top-five pick in the 2025 WNBA draft, along with JuJu Watkins and Flau'jae Johnson.
