Paige Bueckers reacts in disbelief as UConn teammate Kaitlyn Chen breaks ankles

UConn sensation Paige Bueckers was in awe of teammate Kaitlyn Chen's highlight during the second-ranked Huskies' 85-52 blowout of No. 22 Louisville on Saturday. In Bueckers' Instagram story, she reposted the team's post of Chen's ankle-breaker on the Cardinals' Tajianna Roberts.

"My goodness," Bueckers captioned the post.

Chen's ankle-breaker resulted in her bouncing the ball into stalwart Ice Brady for the fastbreak layup to extend the UConn lead to 14-5 at the 5:29 mark of the first period.

Chen finished with six points, four rebounds and four assists in 21 minutes. Bueckers, meanwhile, had an off-night, tallying just eight points on 2-for-11 shooting, but helped out in other areas with 10 rebounds and six assists.

This was a welcomed highlight for Chen, a fourth-year guard, as she has been having a down year, averaging 7.0 points, 1.9 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.0 steals per game. Last year, she posted 15.8 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 4.9 apg and 1.3 spg at Princeton.

A play like this could boost Chen's confidence. Nevertheless, she has been an integral factor for the Huskies (8-0).

The undefeated UConn Huskies, under the tutelage of legendary coach Geno Auriemma, will next have a huge showdown on Thursday, visiting Hannah Hidalgo and the No. 10 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (7-2).

Paige Bueckers also reposted the UConn Huskies' Instagram reel of freshman Sarah Strong, who has been having a stellar freshman. The fourth-year star let out a roar in support of her forward on her Instagram story:

"Rahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

With Bueckers' abysmal shooting performance, it was Strong who paced the team en route to the triumph. She finished with a game-high 21 points on 8-out-of-10 shooting to go along with eight rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block.

This was another remarkable outing for the 18-year-old, who is among the season's best freshmen, averaging 16.3 ppg, 7.6 rpg, 3.6 apg, 2.5 spg and 1.5 blocks per game.

UConn's growing chemistry is aiding the team in its success, as it's apparent with how much support Bueckers is giving to her teammates.
