The Jackrabbits will now take on the second-seeded UConn Huskies on Sunday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Paige Bueckers will be the one to look out for.

She has made 32 appearances for the Huskies this season, recording 19.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game. Bueckers is also an efficient scorer, shooting 53.6% from the field and 40.6% from beyond the arc.
