"There's been a lot of obstacles thrown Paige's way, a lot of adversity that's come her way," Auriemma said.
"We've all talked about it, whether it was the bubble her freshman year, not having the whole team her sophomore year when we're playing for a national championship, missing another year (and) playing short-handed last year. So, there's been one thing after another."

Through numerous adversities, Bueckers emerged as a remarkable star. She is projected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA draft.

Bueckers, who has averaged 20.1 points, 4.8 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 2.1 steals this season, will aim to help her team get to the championship game when UConn (35-3) faces the No. 1 seed UCLA Bruins (35-2) on Friday night at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
